Democratic Action Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns with the party's general stance on progressive taxation and wealth redistribution, and also suggests a more radical approach to regulating financial markets, which could appeal to the party's social democratic ideology. The score is not at the maximum because the party has not explicitly advocated for banning stock buybacks.

Agree

Yes

Democratic Action, as a social democratic party, generally supports progressive taxation and measures that can redistribute wealth. However, the party's stance on specific financial mechanisms like stock buybacks is not explicitly stated, hence the score is not at the maximum.

Slightly disagree

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

Democratic Action might acknowledge the benefits of stock buybacks for pension funds and mutual funds, but this would not necessarily deter them from supporting a tax on these transactions as a means of wealth redistribution. The score is close to neutral because this argument could potentially align with their views on protecting pensions and mutual funds.

Disagree

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

While the party might agree that there is no direct evidence of firms reducing their investments due to buybacks, they would likely still support taxation as a means of wealth redistribution. The score is not strongly negative because this argument does not directly contradict their general economic views.

Disagree

No

Given the party's general stance on progressive taxation and wealth redistribution, it is unlikely that they would oppose a tax on stock buybacks. However, without explicit statements on this specific issue, the score is not at the extreme.
