Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns closely with New Encounter's ideological stance on economic policy and corporate regulation. Preferring the banning of stock buybacks altogether suggests a strong interventionist approach to regulating corporate behavior, which fits well with the party's broader goals of economic equality and redistribution of wealth. This position would likely be seen as a more direct method of addressing the perceived issues with stock buybacks.

Disagree

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

While it is true that pension funds and mutual funds can benefit from stock buybacks, New Encounter would likely argue that the overall impact of buybacks on income inequality and financial instability outweighs these benefits. They may also argue that there are alternative ways to support pension funds and mutual funds without relying on stock buybacks.

Disagree

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

While New Encounter might recognize the role of pension funds and mutual funds in the economy, the party is likely to maintain that the benefits of stock buybacks disproportionately favor the wealthy and corporations. Therefore, they would probably disagree with the argument that these benefits justify leaving buybacks untaxed, though they might be slightly more sympathetic to this argument than to others due to the impact on pensions.
