The problem is if you try and keep the arithmetic difference constant, 
whilst still allowing economic growth, the "bell curve" of income will 
get narrower and narrower until everyone is earning essentially the 
same. I don't know whether that's a good idea or not, but that's the 
only option to allow what you are arguing for.
