Yes, and what about those pesky shareholders FGS? You know the ones who stump up the money companies need to run their businesses. How dare they ask for dividends in return for their money and the risk!!!! Then there are all those pension funds who use the dividend payments they receive to pay their scheme members. You know, the millions of ordinary people out there who've made some provision for their old age rather than rely on the state's offerings. How dare they do that!.....
