Progressive Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Progressive Party of Chile generally supports policies that promote income redistribution and reduce inequality. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a way to achieve these goals by discouraging companies from using profits to buy back their own shares and instead invest in their employees or other productive activities. However, there is no specific historical example of the party advocating for this policy.

Agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

The Progressive Party of Chile might agree with this answer to some extent, as they generally support policies that promote income redistribution and reduce inequality.

Disagree

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

While the Progressive Party of Chile might acknowledge that pension funds and mutual funds could benefit from stock buybacks, they would likely still support taxing them as a way to promote income redistribution and reduce inequality. They may argue that the benefits to pension funds and mutual funds do not outweigh the potential negative effects of stock buybacks on the broader economy.
