Agree

Yes

Woke Capitalism, which often emphasizes social responsibility alongside profit, might see taxing stock buybacks as a way to encourage companies to reinvest in their employees and communities rather than prioritizing shareholder returns. However, this ideology also values the autonomy of businesses to make decisions that align with progressive values, which could moderate its support for government intervention.

Neutral

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

The argument that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks could be seen as aligning with the Woke Capitalism perspective, insofar as it suggests a form of wealth distribution to individuals, including retirees. However, the ideology's emphasis on systemic change and addressing inequality might lead to neutrality, as the benefits to pension funds do not directly address its core concerns about corporate responsibility and social equity.

Slightly disagree

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

This answer might resonate with the Woke Capitalism ideology to some extent because it suggests that stock buybacks do not inherently harm investment in innovation or growth. However, the ideology's focus on broader social and environmental outcomes might lead to a slight disagreement, as it could argue that even if investments are not reduced, the funds used for buybacks could be better allocated to initiatives with positive social impact.

Disagree

No

While Woke Capitalism advocates for corporate practices that advance social justice and environmental sustainability, it does not necessarily oppose stock buybacks outright. The opposition to taxing stock buybacks might stem from a belief in using other methods to encourage corporate responsibility, such as direct engagement with companies or promoting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria, rather than government-imposed taxes.
