The cool thing about property rights is that when you legally obtain something it belongs to you and you don't have to justify your ownership of it to random strangers in order to continue owning it.

I don't see where the GP mentioned property rights. Besides, taxation of property is not a particularly novel concept.

Very little of Sergey's wealth is legal, we just suck at enforcing the law against people who grease the right pockets. Google is currently embroiled in multiple dozens of legal procedures about their various not legal behaviors, all of which entail things that have been illegal longer than Google has been doing them.
