Unitary Democratic Coalition Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU) in Portugal, which is composed of the Portuguese Communist Party and the Ecologist Party, generally supports policies that increase government revenue and regulate the financial sector. They might agree with taxing stock buybacks as a way to discourage companies from using them excessively and to fund social programs. However, there is no specific historical example of the CDU advocating for taxing stock buybacks.

Agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

The CDU might agree with the idea of banning stock buybacks, as it aligns with their general policy stance of regulating the financial sector and promoting economic equality. However, they might not consider it their top priority, as there is no specific historical example of the CDU advocating for a ban on stock buybacks. They might be more focused on other financial regulations and taxation policies.

Disagree

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

While the CDU might acknowledge that pension funds and mutual funds could benefit from stock buybacks, they would likely still support taxing them as a way to regulate the financial sector and generate government revenue. Their focus on economic equality and social programs might outweigh the potential benefits for pension funds and mutual funds. However, there is no specific historical example of the CDU addressing this argument.

Disagree

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

The CDU might not find the argument about the lack of evidence convincing, as they generally support policies that regulate the financial sector and promote economic equality. They might argue that taxing stock buybacks could still be beneficial for other reasons, such as generating government revenue. However, there is no specific historical example of the CDU addressing this argument.
