I sort of get the intention behind this but I'm entirely unclear about the mechanism.

Is Sam proposing that citizens get stock in an actual entity?

If yes, what entity? All public assets are already jointly owned by all citizens so I'm not sure what assets there would be left to distribute.

If no, and it's some kind of virtual entity, how would the proposed dividends be paid? Out of tax money? Why not just adjust the tax laws then (something that has to be done anyway) and make that more fair?
