Remember, even when part of the lowest earner of the Western world, you are a lot richer than 90% of the world population.


Western lifestyle (infrastructure, education, health care) cannot be afforded on third-world salary while living in a Western Nation. Salary-equalization creates situation where you will end up paid salary comparable to Chinese factory worker but have to spend it in a different setting, effectively unable to afford food/health care/shelter.

Richer in absolute terms means nothing; they are richer in relative terms when someone earning 5$ can get $1 healthcare, $1 housing and $1 shelter.

Even someone with access to a shaman in a village 50 miles away is better off than 20-something asthmatic cancer survivor with a student debt and mortgage in default trying to live off Wall-Mart part-time no benefits job.
