You have to revamp it because its not directly analagous. Let's say everyone in the school has to distribute their GPA amongst the rest of the school. Would it then be fair for the person with the GPA of 2.0 to give up 1.0 and the person with the 4.0 also only having to give up 1.0 ?
In terms of "fairness" ... the person with the GPA of 2.0 will be left with half of what they had, 1.0.. and the person with the 4.0 will be left with 3/4ths or 3.0 ... one will fail the other will still pass easily.
Who should have to lift the heavier rocks... the strongest person in the bunch or the weakest?

is there any excuse for someone having something below a 2.0? Your whole point rests on "fairness", while you blow right past the fact that there IS no excuse for having something below a 2.0 or even a 3.0, really, so it is in fact unfair to ask ANYBODY to give up any of their earnings to compensate for someone elses lack thereof.
Nice try though.
