Your theory here is nonsense. Can you perhaps think before you respond on
some issues.

A business has private or public shareholders or stockholders who once all
taxes have been deducted on the legal entity's annual revenue or bottomline
.. the stockholders then enjoys dividends through board resolutions.

Can you share any such proof or fillings that any of the RIR have
shareholders and those shareholders distribute dividends or payouts
annually to the RIR stockholders?
