taxed first when they are earnings of the corporation If a company uses earnings to buy back shares, wasn't that taxed already too? Money paid in dividends will probably be a benefit to shareholders. Money used for buy back programs is also likely to fund option grants or be frittered away in asset sales. Only a shareholder who knows when to sell will benefit. I am suspicious that the double-tax rhetoric is used to disguise what amounts to insider deals in many companies (this is not a specific Dell complaint). TP
