"In amount yes. 1 dollar is worth more ot someone who has less then a dollar.

"I'm saying that i believe the value is largely set by how much you make.

"In otherwords. 10% of what a poor person makes is roughly equal to 10% of what a rich person makes in value to those individuals."

You've said that you believe the worth of money to people is relative. Why do you believe it can be relative on a constant ratio and not on a scaling ratio?

It could be on a scaling ratio.  However there is nothing supporting a scaling ratio... nor is there even any kind of measuring system to support said hypothisis.

So it seems that any number of what the rich can take vs the poor is based soley on conjecture and popular opinion at the time.
