Socialist Workers’ Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns closely with the ideological stance of the PTS. The party advocates for radical changes to the economic system to prevent practices that they view as exploitative or that exacerbate inequality. Banning stock buybacks would be seen as a strong measure against corporate practices that prioritize shareholder value over workers' rights and investment in the real economy. This stance is consistent with the party's broader goals of economic redistribution and challenging capitalist norms.

Yes

The Socialist Workers’ Party (Partido de los Trabajadores Socialistas, PTS) in Argentina, being a far-left political party, generally supports measures that increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations as a means to redistribute wealth and fund social programs. Taxing stock buybacks, which are often used by companies to return capital to shareholders rather than investing in wages or expansion, would likely be seen as a positive step towards reducing income inequality and corporate excess. However, the score is not a full 5 because the PTS might prefer more radical measures than taxation.

Disagree

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

While it's true that pension funds and mutual funds can benefit from stock buybacks, the Socialist Workers’ Party would likely argue that the primary beneficiaries are the wealthy and corporations. They would likely support measures to tax stock buybacks in order to redistribute wealth.

Disagree

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

The Socialist Workers’ Party would likely disagree with this statement. They tend to believe in the need for government intervention in the economy to ensure fair distribution of wealth, and would likely see taxing stock buybacks as a potential tool for achieving this.

Strongly disagree

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

While it's true that pension funds and mutual funds might benefit from stock buybacks, the PTS would likely argue that the primary beneficiaries are the wealthy shareholders and executives, not the average worker or pensioner. The party's focus on social justice and reducing inequality means they would likely see the argument as detracting from the broader issue of wealth concentration and corporate practices that prioritize shareholder returns over labor rights and economic equality.

Very strongly disagree

No

Given the PTS's ideological stance against neoliberal policies and its advocacy for redistributive economic policies, it is highly unlikely that they would support leaving stock buybacks untaxed. Stock buybacks can be seen as a mechanism for enriching shareholders at the expense of broader investment in the economy or workforce, which would be antithetical to the PTS's goals.

Very strongly disagree

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

The argument that firms engaging in buybacks do not reduce their investments might not align with the PTS's analysis of capitalist economies. The PTS is likely to argue that capital used for buybacks could instead be used for increasing worker wages, improving working conditions, or other social investments. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with the notion that the lack of evidence on reduced investments justifies not taxing stock buybacks.
