C2,

Suppose that a hypothetical Paul own's 1000 shares of qcom, has a tax basis of $8 and pays a total tax, fed + state, of 25% for long term capital gains.

He would be receiving $560 per year in dividends from qcom.

If he sold the stock this morning he would have $36870 - $9217 = $27653 after taxes.

If he invested this money in a stock, REIT, CD, AAA bond or etc that paid a 5% dividend he would receive $1383 per year. Well over twice the return.

This of course ignores potential appreciation of the stock.
