That’s slavery’s logic, if the slave belongs to the master, all the products of his or her labor do as well. A “good” master (one who believes in enlightened self interest) would share the profits with the slave to encourage the slave to spend his private time making even more money for the master. A “bad” master would just take all the profits and punish the slave if he complained. Nobody here has ever said slavery was good that I can remember.
Trying to differentiate between a good and bad slave master is like trying to differentiate between a good and bad rapist.
