Note that a non resident should file form 1040 NR and pay the tax, all be the tax may be deductable or a credit on the persons foreign tax return depending on the tax treaty involved. . Once again there is no free lunch. (Note that dividends are explicitly taxed)

On the pension funds, the pensions paid pay tax, so assume a pension fund gets dividends, sooner or later these go out to those on pensions who pay tax at the wage rate not the dividend/capital gains rate.
