The government SHOULD BE investing in this .

One of the few things they should do

“The government SHOULD BE investing in this .”

I guess you mean the people, yet how are the profits allocated or the losses covered?

Someone who owns preferred stock is a shareholder. Stock and shares are pretty much interchangeable terms.

Profits should come back to the govt and be used to lessen tax needs.
