As if quantitative easing weren't reason enough to be dissuaded from taking a stake in the bond market. Really, the arrogance of treasury securities to me the most sour indignation. If they want you to just give them money, trying to disguise it as an investment is an outright insult. |

Why shouldn't they? They tax capital gains and dividends on other investments. That's essentially the same thing as bond interest. |

I just find it egregious they would tax back interest they owe. Why not just issue the bond at a lower rate? Through bond yield equivalency, just "pre-tax" the security by issuing it a lower coupon. |

Kinda par for the course. Look at how many times you are taxed on the same dollar from the time you make it. Death of a thousand cuts. |
