He’s making dividends useless. Why? What he does makes no sense. He’s telling corporations keep the money, don’t give it to the people, or I’ll just tax it away.

Lots of 80 and 90 year old widows have high dividend stocks to get some income.

Obama is a monster.

Many people depend on dividends for retirement income. It’s like he’s trying to punish people for thinking ahead. Or, he just doesn’t give a damn and it’s pure politics – tax “The Rich”; after all, the ignorant know that only “The Rich” have investments.

Dividends have already been taxed once as corporate earnings before the earnings are distributed out to the owners as dividends. They ought NOT be taxed again, but if there is one boundless thing in this world, it is the appetite of government for money.

Two comments: 1) Many of the dividends go to tax-exempt entities like pension funds, and 2) if he's thinking of a one-two punch, wait for an "undistributed profits" or "excess cash accumulation" tax proposal.
