Your argument isn't logically consistent. Whatever justification you use the argument is the same: You think the government should be able to decide what people's contributions are worth and act as an intermediary between the person getting paid and the person willing to pay them that money.

So you can't make an exception for people who "create new things". Because the precedent you've set is that Government should be the one judging what someone's individual efforts are worth and in order to even make that judgement Government has to then evaluate everyone's contribution.

Hence there are no exceptions because everyone must be judged.

So in the case of someone like Sergey Brin you'll get people asking if what he did is really worth $15.9 billion dollars? Or those who ask "Isn't $1 billion more than anyone needs? Wouldn't society be better off if we took the other $14 billion and distributed it to poorer people"
