> You can't claim that it's fair to give someone a bigger pay rise on the basis that they already earn more. That makes no sense.
That it does not accord with your intuitive sense of fairness is not an argument that other people have to bow to. Treating everyone the same according to a blanket rule, uniformly applied, is absolutely a kind of fairness.
Fairness is a subjective judgment, not a property of the universe. Which criteria to be used in making decisions is a choice, not something immediately obvious.
