Conservative Liberalism

Strongly agree

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

Conservative liberalism would likely agree with this statement as it underscores a belief in the efficiency of the free market and the idea that companies know best how to allocate their resources. The argument that buybacks do not negatively impact a firm's investment capabilities aligns with the conservative liberal view that market decisions should not be penalized with taxes.

Agree

No

This ideology generally supports the idea of a free market with minimal government interference. Not taxing stock buybacks aligns with the principle of allowing companies to operate with as few restrictions as possible, encouraging investment and growth. Conservative liberals might argue that companies are better than the government at deciding how to use their capital.

Agree

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

While conservative liberalism values free market principles, the emphasis on pension funds and mutual funds as beneficiaries of stock buybacks might slightly soften opposition to taxing them, recognizing the role of these funds in individual financial security. However, the preference would still lean towards no taxation, in line with minimizing government intervention.

Disagree

Yes

Conservative liberalism typically emphasizes free market principles and limited government intervention in the economy. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as an unnecessary government intrusion into corporate financial strategies, which conservative liberals might oppose. However, there might be some openness to taxation if it's framed as promoting fiscal responsibility or broader economic benefits.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Banning stock buybacks would represent a significant government intervention in the market, which is contrary to conservative liberal principles. While there might be concerns about the effects of buybacks on the economy or on income inequality, an outright ban would be seen as too heavy-handed an approach for this ideology.
