No, it absolutely makes no sense to me. Dividends are taxed as income, capital gains is taxed at different rates.

In the USA, dividends may be taxed at the capital gains rate depending on the company (Intel qualifies) and how long the position has been open.

Exactly, you either supplement your income with it or retire early and replace your income with it.

There are whole generations of people doing this.
