I disagree with your idea that div-paying stocks drain capital from growth companies. What is draining capital away from growth companies is the sad legacy of acctg fraud and outright bubble companies that the mkt is trying to get passed these days. Tons of money is still sitting in bonds and mon mkts due to lack of trust in equities.

Well, there is no way to prove it of course. So it is just my opinion. But paying out dividends is not the key to great companies imo. Just look at Coke and Pepsi still battling it out after all of these years. Someone should have taken that market, just like Cisco obliterated his competition 2 years ago.

Maybe we should make 'rich' people pay their health insuranc epremiums with after tax money. Wouldn't that raise even more money for our wise and prudent politicians to 'invest' in America?

I'll tell you what, I don't really want any more tax cuts unless they hit that %$^# social security tax. That is the tax that matters most and is also the most regressive and the most unfair to the young (and poor). We should abolish SS, or in lieu of that, raise the retirement age to 75 and put means testing on medicare. Thats what I think. If Bush can bust his balls to get a dividend tax cut why can't he do something about the AARP.
