National Conservatism

Agree

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

This answer aligns with a typical national conservative view that market decisions made by firms, including stock buybacks, should not be interfered with by the government, especially if there is no clear evidence of harm to investment. It supports the idea of economic freedom and efficiency.

Agree

No

National Conservatives might lean towards less government intervention in business practices, including stock buybacks, unless these practices are viewed as harmful to national interests or the economic well-being of the nation's citizens.

Slightly agree

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

While national conservatives might appreciate the argument that pension funds and mutual funds (and by extension, ordinary citizens) benefit from stock buybacks, their support would be tempered by concerns over whether these practices align with broader national interests and economic sovereignty.

Disagree

Yes

National Conservatism generally prioritizes national interest and economic sovereignty but may see taxation on stock buybacks as an unnecessary government intervention in the free market. However, if such a tax is framed as protecting national economic interests or workers, some within the ideology might be more supportive.

Disagree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Banning stock buybacks would represent a significant government intervention in the market, which national conservatives might oppose unless it was clearly justified as protecting the national economy or the interests of the nation's workers. The preference for a ban, even over taxation, might be seen as too extreme.
