Stand on a treadmill on rollerblades. It takes just as much effort to pull yourself forward no matter how fast the treadmill is moving. (Roughly.... so long as you have good bearings)

That was my point. Its not torque through the wheels that moves the plane forwards. If that was the case the plane would never take-off because once the wheels left the ground the plane would slow down and would not stay airborn.
