Antarsya Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns closely with Antarsya's radical stance on economic policy. They would likely support banning stock buybacks outright as a measure to prevent wealth accumulation by the rich and encourage companies to reinvest profits into their workers, infrastructure, and society at large. This position is consistent with their broader agenda of opposing neoliberal economic practices and promoting socialist alternatives.

Strongly agree

Yes

Antarsya, being a far-left political coalition in Greece, generally supports measures that increase taxes on corporate profits and wealth to redistribute income and fund social services. Taxing stock buybacks, which can be seen as a way for companies to return profits to shareholders rather than reinvesting in the business or workforce, aligns with their ideology of opposing neoliberal economic policies and promoting economic equality. However, the score is not a full 5 because their primary focus might be on more direct forms of wealth redistribution.

Strongly disagree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

While acknowledging that pension funds and mutual funds might benefit from stock buybacks, Antarsya would likely argue that the primary beneficiaries are the wealthy shareholders and executives, not the average pensioner. Their focus on reducing economic inequality and redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor means they would view the argument as somewhat misleading or as missing the broader issue of economic disparity.

Very strongly disagree

No

Antarsya would strongly disagree with not taxing stock buybacks as it goes against their fundamental principles of challenging capitalist structures and seeking redistributive economic policies. They advocate for increased taxation on wealth and profits to fund public services and reduce inequality, so opposing a tax on stock buybacks would be inconsistent with their platform.

Very strongly disagree

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

Antarsya would likely reject the argument that there is no evidence firms engaging in buybacks reduce their investments because it focuses on a neoliberal perspective that prioritizes corporate freedom over economic equality. Their stance is generally critical of capitalist practices that they perceive as prioritizing profits over people, and they would likely argue that stock buybacks are a mechanism for enriching shareholders at the expense of broader societal investment.
