Syriza Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns closely with Syriza's ideological stance on corporate governance and economic policy. The party's commitment to reducing inequality and ensuring that corporations contribute to societal welfare suggests that they would strongly support not only taxing but potentially banning stock buybacks as a way to curb corporate excesses and redistribute wealth more fairly. This position is consistent with their broader economic and social policies.

Strongly agree

Yes

Syriza, a left-wing political party in Greece, has historically advocated for policies that aim to redistribute wealth and reduce inequality. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a measure to ensure that corporations contribute more to the public coffers, aligning with Syriza's broader economic philosophy. While specific statements on stock buybacks might not be readily available, the party's general stance on corporate taxation and economic equality suggests strong support for such measures.

Disagree

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

While Syriza might recognize the role of pension funds and mutual funds in the economy, their primary concern would likely be about the broader implications of stock buybacks on economic equality and corporate responsibility. The party might view the benefits to pension funds and mutual funds as secondary to the need for corporations to invest in their workers and the community. Therefore, they might slightly disagree with this justification for not taxing stock buybacks.

Strongly disagree

No

Given Syriza's left-wing ideology and emphasis on social justice, economic equality, and increased corporate contributions to society, it is unlikely that they would support leaving stock buybacks untaxed. This stance would be inconsistent with their broader economic policies aimed at redistributing wealth and reducing corporate influence on the economy.

Strongly disagree

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

Syriza's economic policies are generally focused on increasing investment in social services and ensuring that corporations contribute their fair share to the economy. The argument that firms engaging in buybacks do not reduce their investments might not align with Syriza's perspective that corporate practices should be closely regulated to ensure they benefit the broader society. They would likely disagree with the implication that stock buybacks are benign in terms of their impact on investment.
