So you would recommend the gov't to do just what about that? It makes no difference whether wealth comes from winning a lottery, finding burried pirate treasure or is "earned" by selling a patent. One has a right to their property, no matter how they (legally) got it or in what in form it currently exists.
Tax it as income according to the normal applicable schedule as income.
