You know which countries are most "equal"? Poor African countries where people can't even afford fresh water.
Do you know which one was more equal? USA in the 50s and 60s, when the tax rate for rich people ranged from 70% up to 92%. A time period where regular people could also afford to live comfortably (family and house included) with a regular job.
Sorry, your arguments are just bad and only show your ignorance.
There are many problems with this argument; but it's 11pm and I'm sleepy, so have the first one that came to mind.
Those countries don't have a lot of wealth per capita to begin with, so it's not a goddamned equal comparison.
Sleepy or not, but equality doesn't mean crap.
