Well, I've never done the calculus on the effect of dividends on shareholder equity since I don't personally much like dividends or follow stocks which pay much out. I'm at a loss why people want the governments to get twice as much in taxes on each dollar of pre-tax earnings as the stockholder pockets (after the company and the individual both successively pay marginal income tax rates on the earnings.)

I have done the calculus on share buy backs though and only purport to have done the math on those enough to personally favor them.
