Indeed. The fallacy that all investors are all fat cats, swimming in money is pretty galling. When interest rates on savings accounts dropped, many regular folks took some of their savings and put into dividend paying companies. I'm sure most of them are aware that this is an investment and isn't without risk. I'm certainly not advocating for companies to pay out dividends no matter what. But the lack of nuance bothers me. Not all dividend paying companies are greedy, and not all dividend investors are wealthy.
