Would you suppose that someone making $32,000 per year in the US has a comparable standard of living to someone who makes $32,000 per year in a country where laborers are paid $2 a day? If the answer is no, do you then think a global 1st percentile of wage earnings is a useful metric, especially when the US 1st percentile (according to your link) is an order of magnitude higher?
