I looked back at that Wikipedia page on dividend tax rates, and realized that I had missed the fact that it shows two different sets of rates. One for "ordinary" dividends and one for "qualified" dividends.

I don't know the difference, and I'm too tired to look it up now. But I note that the top rate of 35% on ordinary dividends applies only to people in the top income tax bracket.

My other comments still pertain, I believe, though I was wrong in thinking that the 15% rate applies across the board.
