Governments are into profit but for the purpose of public spending rather than lining shareholder pockets.  Government spending should go to things like infrastucture and social spending (if your system leans this way).  Whereas, corporate profits go in part to bettering the corp but also benefitting the shareholders.

 Note what you are saying is correct, it is also semantically equal. Remember the constiuents are shareholders of the government company.
