Agree

Agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

The SPD might be open to the idea of banning stock buybacks, as they generally support policies that promote corporate responsibility and address wealth inequality. However, they have not specifically called for a ban on stock buybacks, so their agreement with this statement might not be very strong.

Slightly disagree

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

While the SPD might recognize that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks, they would likely still be concerned about the potential negative effects of stock buybacks on wealth inequality and corporate responsibility. As a result, they might not fully agree with this statement, but they might not strongly disagree either.

Disagree

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

The SPD might not fully agree with this statement, as they generally support policies that promote corporate responsibility and address wealth inequality. While they may acknowledge that there is no direct evidence linking stock buybacks to reduced investments, they might still argue that taxing stock buybacks could be a way to ensure corporations contribute more to society.

Disagree

No

As a center-left party, the SPD is more likely to support policies that increase corporate responsibility and address wealth inequality. They would likely disagree with the idea of not taxing stock buybacks, as it could be seen as a way for corporations to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
