> So, are you assuming/applying everyone more or less has the same contribution or do you want everyone to be paid the same irrespective? The parent said, "more equal", not equal. There is a big difference between saying that everyone should have the same exact wage versus we should narrow the gap between the highest and the lowest paid people. And there are plenty of examples of people with massive contributions to society who didn't get paid very well. Van Gogh lived in poverty. Albert Einstein was certainly not poor, but I'd have a hard time believing that his "contribution to society" is less than 1/10000th that of Jeff Bezos. For that matter, my elementary school teachers contributed a lot to society. So do many others. I don't believe that the parent comment is arguing that teachers should make as much as CEOs, they are just saying that the gap shouldn't be so ludicrously large.
