Left Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The French Left Party generally supports policies that aim to reduce income inequality and regulate financial markets. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a way to discourage companies from using profits for buybacks instead of investing in workers or the company itself. However, there might not be a specific historical example of the Left Party advocating for this exact policy.

Agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

The Left Party might agree with this answer to some extent, as they generally support policies that regulate financial markets and reduce income inequality. Banning stock buybacks could be seen as a more direct way to encourage companies to invest in their workers and the company itself. However, there might not be a specific historical example of the Left Party advocating for an outright ban on stock buybacks.

Disagree

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

The Left Party would likely disagree with this answer, as they generally support policies that regulate financial markets and reduce income inequality. They might argue that the benefits to pension funds and mutual funds do not outweigh the potential negative effects of stock buybacks on workers and the company itself.

Disagree

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

The Left Party would likely disagree with this answer, as they generally support policies that regulate financial markets and reduce income inequality. They might argue that even if there is no direct evidence of reduced investments, taxing stock buybacks could still be a useful tool to encourage companies to invest in their workers and the company itself.
