Because taxing dividends means double taxation, that's why getting rid of it is the right thing to do.

<> This I don't buy, doesn't every income gain get taxed. My employer gets taxed and then pays me and then I get taxed then I buy groceries and the supermarket gets taxed. In this case its the same thing. They're making money and they're getting taxed on it. Considering how small dividends usually are it shouldn't be taxed much, but its the same thing.
