bradgessler, you have that completely backwards (might want to edit your post so others don't get confused). Dividend income is almost always taxed lower than w-2 income on several levels. The IRS goes after C corps for distributing dividends without a fair-wage w-2-- it triggers an automatic inquiry which, if you're not paying a fair wage, leads to an audit.
