You're misunderstanding me slightly DaGonz. I'm not saying that higher income = higher prices. It's more like higher income = more money to spend.
However, because they are willing to spend this money, they reserve the right to be more discriminating in their selection of service providers. In this case, Mr. Hulk was chosen specifically because of his reputation of quality service. I absolutely believe that Mr. Hulk should be paid for that. He earned it.
Second...just a comment related to your Doctor analogy.
My wife is a psychologist. She has a PhD and works every day with emotionally and mentally distressed people. Her office is listed in the yellow pages, they take most health insurances, and they cater to the general public.
However, at the same time, somewhere, there is another psychologist who will spend one hour listening to Britney Spears whine about her screwed up life, and charge more for that one session than my wife will earn in a month.
Plastic surgeons are probably the same way. Do you think that celebrities in LA pay the same for their Botox as the upper-middle class housewife in Newton, MA? I'm guessing they don't.
It's hard to use the Doctor analogy when discussing something medically necessary. But our economy is full of examples of higher income consumers paying more for things.
