If you make less than 38600, you pay ZERO dollars in taxes on the first $75k of qualified dividend income

Your sentence contradicts itself. How can you make less than $38,600 when you're making $75,000?

Also note that long-term capital gains are also taxed at the same rate as qualified dividends, but can be deferred into the future. Your argument doesn't seem to advocate for the thing you think it does.
