Disagree

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

While the Working Families Party may acknowledge that pension funds and mutual funds can benefit from stock buybacks, they are more likely to focus on the potential negative effects of buybacks on income inequality and corporate influence. As such, they would likely still support taxing or regulating stock buybacks.

Disagree

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

The Working Families Party is likely to disagree with this statement, as they tend to support policies that promote economic equality and reduce corporate influence. They may argue that stock buybacks can contribute to income inequality by prioritizing shareholder profits over worker well-being and investment in the company.
