Left Front Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns most closely with the Left Front's political ideology. They would likely support taxing stock buybacks, but would prefer if they were banned altogether. This is because they see buybacks as a form of corporate financial manipulation that contributes to wealth inequality and corporate short-termism.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Left Front in France is a coalition of left-wing and far-left parties that generally support increased taxation on financial transactions and wealth redistribution. They would likely support taxing stock buybacks as a way to increase government revenue and discourage what they see as corporate financial manipulation. However, the score is not a full 5 because the party might prefer more radical measures, such as banning stock buybacks altogether.

Disagree

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

While it's true that pension funds and mutual funds can benefit from stock buybacks, the Left Front would likely argue that the overall impact of buybacks on wealth inequality and corporate short-termism outweighs these benefits. They would likely support measures to tax or limit buybacks, even if it means some negative impact on pension funds and mutual funds.

Strongly disagree

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

The Left Front would likely disagree with this statement, as they believe that corporations often use stock buybacks to artificially inflate stock prices and executive compensation at the expense of long-term investment and worker wages.
