By that logic, the burger flipper at McDonald's should be able to pocket all the money McDonald's brings in.

Don't ignore the fact that the employee's contribution is only a small component to the success of the business. Just because someone comes up with cool superhero drawings doesn't mean he alone also brings those to market, negotiates comic book, movie, TV, and other licensing deals, creates the content and publishes that content, or any of the hundreds of other jobs that go into the production including managing payroll, paying bills, etc.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Let's say that a driver going 60 mph notices the light turn amber 1 ft. from the intersection. According to your statement, they are not supposed to enter the intersection.

This would require a deceleration of approximately 120 g. Not only is this physically impossible for any vehicle (short of hitting a very thick concrete wall), you'll flatten the driver and passengers like pancakes.
