If we evolved this way, it must mean it was a necessity of evolution.

If I'm earning $50,000 and everyone else is making $25,000, I have double the spending power to fight or ward off attacks against any potential rivals.

Stunning!

I also have double the spending power to attract mates and push my genes to the next generation!

Irrational!

Shermer, you are an idiot.
