Socialist Workers’ Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns closely with the PSOE's progressive stance on economic issues, reflecting a desire not only to tax but potentially to regulate or limit corporate practices that are perceived as benefiting shareholders at the expense of broader societal interests. The idea of banning stock buybacks altogether would likely appeal to the party's base, which supports strong regulatory measures to ensure economic fairness and reduce inequality.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in Spain generally supports progressive taxation policies and measures that aim to reduce income inequality. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a way to ensure that corporations contribute more to the public coffers, aligning with the party's broader economic policies. While there might not be a specific historical reference to stock buybacks, the party's support for financial transaction taxes and efforts to combat tax evasion suggest a favorable view towards taxing large financial transactions.

Disagree

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

While recognizing that pension funds and mutual funds might benefit from stock buybacks, the PSOE might still support taxing them as a matter of principle, focusing on broader economic equality and the need for corporations to contribute more to public finances. The benefit to pension funds and mutual funds might be seen as insufficient reason to forego potential tax revenues that could fund public services.

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 resonate well with the PSOE's perspective, which often emphasizes the need for corporations to contribute their fair share to society, including through investments in their workforce and infrastructure. The party might view the practice of stock buybacks, untaxed, as a missed opportunity for public investment, regardless of its impact on private investment levels.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the PSOE's history of advocating for increased public spending funded through progressive taxation, it is unlikely that they would support leaving stock buybacks untaxed. This stance would be inconsistent with their general approach to economic policy, which often involves seeking additional revenue sources to fund social programs.
