Socialist Alliance Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

The Socialist Alliance would likely strongly agree with this statement. They generally support policies that reduce income inequality and corporate power, and banning stock buybacks could be seen as a way to achieve these goals. This is in line with their broader agenda of challenging the power of big business and advocating for economic justice.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Socialist Alliance in Australia generally supports policies that redistribute wealth and reduce income inequality. They would likely agree with taxing stock buybacks as it could be seen as a way to redistribute wealth from corporations to the public. 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 the Socialist Alliance might acknowledge that pension funds and mutual funds can benefit from stock buybacks, they would likely argue that the overall impact of stock buybacks on income inequality and corporate behavior is negative. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this statement, but not as strongly as with some others.

Disagree

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

The Socialist Alliance would likely disagree with this statement. They might argue that even if there is no direct evidence of firms reducing their investments, stock buybacks could still contribute to income inequality by concentrating wealth in the hands of a few shareholders.
