The people should have a share of the proceeds if their tax dollars funded the work.

I don't think printing money is the answer, if I'm understanding you correctly.

They do get a share already through taxation and it doesn’t matter. Money isn’t a good incentive for the government to care.

I don't follow. I'm talking about giving people shares or proceeds from projects that were funded with the people's wealth.

What people? The government (of the people by the people for the people) already receives all of the tax revenue from successful companies. I don’t see a reason to double dip here.
