I've never once met a person who would otherwise go hungry if they didn't get dividends, have you?
What you really mean is those "normal people" would have to sell their third car or maybe rent out their summer home without that dividend, which is just fine by me.

I don’t think you have broad enough experience to assume no one earns a few thousand a month from dividends and needs most of it to help pay bills.
