Yeah. Just about every bit of land is owned by someone. In order to have my own land to live off of I need to produce some income to pay property taxes, lest the state confiscate it from me.
And it's not a question of 1% owning "too much", either. A hunter-gatherer life is hideously inefficient. There isn't enough land on Earth to support even a small fraction of the population living this way.
