A Dividend for Paying Taxes?

I saw this post earlier this morning.

I find it pretty silly since Americans get their "dividend" in the form of social welfare, education, defense, all that good good. But I think it's an interesting question to pose.

What would a dividend for the American people look like if we didn't get the government spending?

Hard to think of a hypothetical like this. Is infrastructure, defense, education, and everything else not enough?
