Jesus, you missed the point altogether.
It is intentional that they both donate 25% of their income, as it leaves subject 1 with $300 to survive on, and subject 2 $3000 to survive on, illustrating that even though subject 2 donates more, relatively speaking (ie when compared to how much they actually earn) subject 1 is making the greater sacrifice. Pointing out that percentages are indeed a factor, and that actual figures aren't always the only consideration.
You know, a wise man once said it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
