That is true. It is nearly impossible to purchase anything under the current system without someone having been exploited unjustly along the way. That doesn't mean that all such purchases are equally exploiting or that they all must be seen and treated exactly the same way (which under false equivalency arguments, tends to mean "do nothing at all, status quo is fine").
