You are making an assumption that ambitious people in other countries are not making. Just because they are earning $3/day doesn't mean that they don't want and couldn't easily spend $300/day. That is where the discontent comes in. We have been exporting movies showing Hollywood mansions with swimming pools for 50 years, and that is what they have been wanting. I was reading about a mall on the border of Texas where Victoria's Secret does a big business with Mexicans. They know about and want the best.
That's not my problem.
Live within your means.
Pull yourself up by your boots straps and EARN it.
