Here: I agree with points two and three, but I don’t think this slavery example is on point. This Josh fellow is making a utilitarian argument. A large amount of money in small number of hands provides more utility than the same amount of money in many hands. Your slavery example doesn’t illustrate this point. Slavery imposes a huge cost on slaves–a cost which likely is not matched or exceed by the utility slavery bestows upon the slave owner.
