What does the government need shares for when it controls the corporation and receives ALL the profit? LoL

Really? How much has it profited? Could you show me statistics please?

Well the Deposits of the earnings of the FR at Treasury were almost $30 Billion in 2001. I don't have time to look for more figures. But essentially this figure represents the gross interest paid to the Fed as interest on federal debt held by the Fed. There are some expenses to be deducted before a true net figure can be arrived at but I don't have those at the moment.
