So dividends are just like a paycheck, i.e. compensation. We pay income tax on our compensation. Therefore dividends should be taxed at the same rate.

And that might be what the President is suggesting. I think it will have a huge negative effect on the economy. AND it will not bring in that much more money to the tax rolls, as dividend income will be less desirable.
