Not a fan of government bailouts or funding any company at all nor an American, but this framing is weird.

Citizens don’t get dividends from government property. They get their tax benefits from government services, e.g, infrastructure, healthcare, police, etc.

Not only are you not an American, you have no idea how our government works apparently. States can pay out financial benefits to citizens in the form of checks to residents, for example see Alaska. During my life time there have been multiple instances of the federal government refunding taxes collected for one reason or another.
Oh, then I stand corrected :)
