That is perfectly true *IF* you believe that a slave is in fact property. Slavery was abolished with the shift in paradigm: that people cannot be owned (i.e. they cannot be property). Something most of us in the world now acknowledge as basic human rights. I believe that people do have a right to work hard, and invest their resources to an end, and be appropriately compensated so long as it does not infringe on the rights of others to mutually to do the same. The issue of slavery is to be looked upon as an issue of *human rights* not *property rights*. You're mixing your paradigms in your analogy, my friend.
