If a Tomato sells for a dollar the person producing it will get less than a tomato that sells for $5. Maybe the problem with income inequity has to do with the price deflation of certain items compared to the price inflation of others.
If doctors charged $50 an hour they wouldn't make as much as if they charged $300 an hour. Income is all in the pricing power.
