Beware 'Dividend Aristocrats' that Actually Offer Low Yields, No Real Income

I'm primary interested in stocks with a strong income stream (8-10%), enough growth to increase the dividend above the on going inflation rate. Stocks that pay 2-5% are not on my radar screen no matter if they are Aristocrats or whatever, etc. Why buy a low % dividend, losing money to inflation and waiting, just hoping the stock price will go up? I want to get paid now.. then I'll wait and hope.
I'm doing that now, collecting from the likes of etp, tpp.
