It would be a "washout" if the person paying at 1/100th the rate received 1/100th the benefit. That might be fair. If a person always made the cap gets $1,000 in benefits then the $8,000,000 man would get $10 dollars. That would be a wash.

That's ludicrous. There are several ways to look at it.
Suppose you pay that money into a bank. Both people would have the same principal, wouldn't they?
If you look at the living standard each person receiving the same, it would measure up to 1/100 of the money. Which is fair? could it be both?
You may want to go to that liberal haven of the EU. Everything is "fair" there. You pay heavily into it and you get the same amount of benefit everyone else does. I guess that's fair.
