Should the government tax stock buybacks?

Yes

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

I don’t know what this means

I don't understand this topic enough to have much of a stance on the issue.

not enough knowledge

I don’t get it

Stock trading is evil and should be abolished. Businesses should be owned entirely by their workers.

Yes, and then abolish private property and ban wealth accumulation

I do not understand.

Buybacks I barely know her

If the stock issuance is defined to be the cost basis of the stock, a buyback is probably a capital loss and should not be taxed.

Yes, and allow for everyday people to buy and own as many stocks as we can afford. More people owning capital is better than it being in the hands of just a few or corporations.

There should be at least some incentive for corporations to make additional investments rather than buy back stock.

Yes, but in the form of a reformed corporate tax code where there is no income tax and only a tax on distributions, including stock buybacks

I don't have a personal opinion on this subject.

Less tax on stocks.

I don't understand the question fully.

I don’t have a stance

Too many big words that i don't understand

I am uneducated on this issue.

You need to take into account the amount of capital. No taxes for small investors, and a progressive tax rate for large investors.

Yes and No, I believe that we shouldn't be taxing stock buybacks, UNLESS, there is something severely wrong with that specific buyback. Now while I also believe that most brokers tend to be crooks, they're just doing they're job, doing what they're good at, and surviving off of it. It's just business

Yes, and all trades, shares, and dividends should be heavily taxed to fund a single Payor health system.

No, conmpanies need their shares back for their benefit. Government should not tax from shares, but firms and households' own money to make sure each of them contribute the government's protection in return.

I am unknowledgeable on this topic

yes but it should only be allowed to a certain extent

yes but only if they are doing that instead of reinvesting

not informed enough for an opinion

Buybacks should be taxed if they hold a specific level of monetary value.

Not very well educated on this to give an opinion.

I do not have enough knowledge on this issue.

Yes, and raise taxes on all stocks purchased

I don't even know what that is.

I don't understand this topic enough to pick an answer.

Not enough knowledge to have an opinion.

No, the government should not tax anything.

I'd need to learn more about the topic before making a decision.

Cannot say

I'm unsure of the question.

Yes. Stock buybacks can inflate a company’s stock price even if its financial performance is low. This can persuade naive investors into buying shares for a company that is conflating its current financial reputation in a positive light with regard to the buybacks

Government should determine the best way to appropriately tax all individuals and if this is even the best way to add revenue to the country's balance sheet. It should be taken into consideration with all other methods of taxation.

No - they should end the tyranny of the stock exchange all together so companies can run their business as they intended. They should provide open funding with proportional shares being distributed through a national pension program that is paid out via dividend.

No, except if the stocks are being bought back from the government following a bail-out

not relevant

Yes, but at a low rate

Yes, but tax them at a low rate

I feel like if the company wants to buy back their stocks then it’s up to try to get them back at whatever monetary cost.

Yes, all stock purchases should be taxed.

No, only in the case of a distributed profits tax.

I don't not feel informed enough on this topic

its not a simple yes or no the question of whether the government should tax stock buybacks involves weighing different factors and considering various viewpoints.

The government needs to stop taxing on ever! They are out of control!

No, because the money for stock buybacks has already been taxed.

I don't have much of an opinion on this topic.

I do not have enough information to make an informed decision.

I don't have a say in this one

I do not have enough understanding on this subject.

Not enough knowledge on the topic.

Regardless, the government should pass a minimal tax all financial transactions.

No, abolish taxation

I dont really know much about this.

Only if it helps the government back someway.

Idk much about this .

I feel I don’t know much about the situation to pick a side

Idk what its asking

No, but capital gains taxed at the same or greater rates as income taxes.

i literally do not know what this means

I have no opinion on the matter

what that?

what are taxes

I do not want to be apart of politics

Not too sure one way or the other

i don’t know much about the topic

I don't freaking know.

I feel neither way.

screw capitalism

Yes, all income should be taxed.

No, but they should investigate the practice

They should severely limit them.

What does this mean

i do not have the proper knowledge to accuretly make am informed choice.

I don't have enough knowledge on this.

I do not have enough knowledge in the situation to comment

Only on companies that earn a certain amount a year.

No, but abolish the stock market and nationalize all corporations, transition them to well-regulated, unionized worker cooperatives, and ban the private sector

No opinion/uncertain

I do not consider myself to understand the topic enough to be confident in holding an opinion.

wtf even is that

I don’t know much about this

Yes, but stock buybacks should be illegal instead.

ill have to research more on this?

i don’t know
