We (the Tax payers) did earn billions bailing out the banks. https://money.usnews.com/investing/articles/2017-01-19/financial-crisis-bailouts-have-earned-taxpa

  That article does not conclusively show the taxpayer benefited from the bailout. All it shows is that the stock price went up. If the money is then used to subsidize airlines, telecom companies, etc. and ultimately used for stock buybacks, exec bonuses, etc. then the taxpayer is never seeing any of that money.
