It's possible to argue that the 2008 bailout was a manifestation of that idea. When the banks were making profit, everybody didn't get some money in the mail or anything. Hell, they didn't even really get a break on bank fees or anything. However, when they started failing the government bailed them out, and that money came from taxes, which were a collection from the people.
