Why would it be fair for someone of equal skill to be able to afford less food, less healthcare, less living space and fewer gadgets for themselves just because they have a bigger family and more kids to support? ;)

Generally what you do with your money should not be a business of your employer.

> Should everybody be incentivized to relocate to a developing country or tax haven because of the internet and your equality rule?

You're silently assuming the quality of life in developing countries is the same as in other countries and the only thing they differ with is the level of prices or taxes. This is generally not true.

Generally what [your employer does] with [your employer's] money should not be [your] business.

This seems irreconcilable.
