Remote workers deserve less

So according to my right wing father, remote workers should be paid less because they don't have to commute to work. They also have more time to do things at home during their downtime during work hours. And yet he knows his commute time is unpaid but it's “figured” into his overall pay, even though there is no way that is true. Even when I argue that they should be paid more because the company is saving money on office space and people are using their homes and personal utilities to work, I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm so tired of trying to educate him on how the world really works but he is so consumed with his echo chamber even though he claims he reads and watches news from several different places.
