Many retirees live off dividends, why are dividends taxed her in USA and not in some other countries.

Dividends come to people who hold invested income that was taxed when it was earned initially.

Dividends therefore are double taxed. Obama raised the rate on taxing them. Why is there nothing about lowering the dividends taxes or eliminating them?

I have a lot of qualified dividends. They get a small tax break. Probably going to throw that out too

The price of everything has doubled in the past 10 years, while the investment income of those retired has almost been cut in half.
