It's not the work of one person alone, as there is no one person who is millions of times "smarter" than the thousands of people working for him/her, just as they are not working millions of times "harder."

You see a proof of exploitation. I see a proof that the Labor Theory of Value is wrong.

Actually, value is created by workers working longer and harder, and combining their labor power cooperatively to create new things.

In some of the Nazi camps, prisoners were made to carry rocks from one place to another, and when they had carried all the rocks, then back to the first place. And on and on ad infinitum, or at least until accumulated mistreatment (plus disease, malnutrition...) left them unable to do this work. The thing is, they worked long and hard. Yet they produced absolutely no value. (Not that the intention was for them to produce any value...) Because the work they were doing was useless. It gave nobody anything. Remove the guards, remove the bad conditions, but preserve the job of carrying rocks from A to B and then back, and you're still producing no value.

Moreover, a lot of new inventions we enjoy every day are heavily subsidized by the same government which many capitalists profess to hate, which means it's financed by the public, who never get so much as a dime off of it, either for their labor or collectively subsidy. 

We get its use. The medium we are in is an example. We don't pay royalties to use it even though Al Gore could collect them.

That is a parasitic system where a few live off the great majority. 

A parasite harms its host. If you are so keen on the biological analogies, the word you're looking for is commensalism.

And you do this by giving them the opportunity to better the lives of everyone, which reaches to themselves as well. 

Well, they would have that opportunity if you didn't tax and regulate them to within an inch.

You do not need to give them power and privilege over others, because the work of everyone builds upon and compliments the work of everyone else.

Tell that to the people regulating competition away.

Take money and profit out of the equation, and the motivation for innovations shifts to benefit the collective welfare, since our welfare is all intertwined.

That motivation is still there in the money and profit system. You can lower your prices, give freebies, whatever, if you want to. Nothing prevents it. But reinvestment into greater innovation requires some profit to be made to be reinvested. You act as if making money was so compulsory that every entrepreneur or investor was banned from altruistic works. It isn't so.
