In a manner of speaking, yes it is. However it is not an equality of outcome but of opportunity.
That is the problem with "share the wealth" equality. It is equality of outcome.
We have, what some 16 football teams in the US, with a little over 22 on the roster, paid exhorbitent salaries in my estimation. This is also equality of opportunity, since those that want to play can try for the job. Equality of outcome would mean that these guys get to play only one season or game so everyone else can also be a "football hero".
