Its an interesting way to look at it, though I can see it being more of a way for a 'progressive' to justify more government confiscation of someones property. After all if you only consume two times as much you don't need to make 5 times as much, at least in some of their logic.
The real issue as I see it is 'so what?'.
Outside of the handful of mega rich, the lifestyle of the wealthy is not a whole lot different than the middle class which isn't that much different from 'the poor'.
There are people, actors, elite athletes, CEO's who will make more in a year than I will my entire life. So what? Does their wealth hurt me, or anyone else?
As long as people are not unfairly being kept 'down' then it doesn't really matter what someone makes.
When I see people starving in the streets, dying of curable diseases because they are refused treatment due to poverty, when hopelessness is due to the system not allowing hard work to succeed, then let me know.
