I didn't mean 99% living off 1%; I mean 100% of the society living off slave labor and only around 1% doing any real work. The slaves didn't count as people back then, similar to the robots in these discussions. In ancient Sparta, for instance, it's estimated that there were 5-10 slaves for every Spartan. That means no Spartan had to work.
