Your wish is just as empty. If we share wealth equally with the rest of the world, all our incomes become what the world average is. It's a matter of simple arithmetic - that is, unless you know of some magic prosperity that is going to raise up everybody else who does not currently enjoy a standard of living equal to that in the US today.

Employers are not offshoring factories to China so that they can pay the prevailing US wage, and the resultant loss of US jobs has a negative impact on average incomes here. You want to accelerate this same process that is clearly not 'bringing us all up.'

And, yours being the empty hope that it clearly is, you are naively advocating a 'coming together' that would surely have the result that I cited - average wages everywhere, including in the US, would be $9,097 a year.
