Democratic Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This statement aligns with the Democratic Party's progressive stance, as it suggests a preference for banning stock buybacks altogether, which could be seen as a strong measure to prevent wealth concentration. However, without a specific historical stance on banning stock buybacks, the score is not at the maximum.

Agree

Yes

Slightly disagree

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

The Democratic Party may acknowledge that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks, but this does not necessarily mean they would oppose taxing them. Their progressive stance suggests they would still support taxation as a means of wealth redistribution, even if some entities that benefit are not the primary targets of such policies.

Disagree

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

While the Democratic Party may not have a specific stance on the correlation between stock buybacks and firm investments, their general support for progressive taxation and wealth redistribution suggests they would disagree with this statement. However, the lack of a specific stance on this issue results in a score that is not at the maximum level of disagreement.
