Technically correct, but can be applied to a lot of things that were technically correct:

- Land was the Lord's to do with as they pleased

- Slaves were the owner's to do with as they pleased

etc.. if the wealth is gathered through exploitation, I think it is appropriate to criticize how that wealth is being used. Hell, it's appropriate to just criticize the wealth, I think.

But these things are shades of gray and rarely as clear-cut as slavery. For example, let's say you're the only job in XYZ town. People aren't forced to work there, but they kinda gotta. Things are not so simple in most cases.
