Really? I can't believe you would defend this. Slaves were not free agents or active participants in the economy (other than providing free services coerced for their master). You do realise that whatever pittance Washington used to pay for his new choppers would be used by the poor slave to purchase food or clothes or medicine so that the slave selling his teeth would not starve, die from an infection or freeze to death.
It is akin to a prison guard taking a kidney from a political prisoner in jail and giving the poor prisoner a cigarette for his trouble.

Try reading what I said again, carefully this time.
Also, you don't even know what a libertarian is.
