Natalism

Slightly agree

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

Natalists might see a slight positive in the argument that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks, as these can contribute to the financial security of families. However, unless the benefits are specifically directed towards supporting families or are shown to significantly impact decisions around childbearing, the connection to natalist goals would be seen as indirect and not a primary concern.

Neutral

No

Natalists might not have a strong opinion on taxing stock buybacks as it does not directly relate to their primary goal of promoting higher birth rates. Their focus is more on policies that directly impact families and population growth, such as child benefits, parental leave, and education funding. Unless the implications of not taxing stock buybacks directly affect these areas, natalists would likely be neutral.

Neutral

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

The argument that firms engaging in buybacks do not reduce their investments might not significantly sway natalists, as their main concern is with policies that directly affect family welfare and population growth. Unless there's a clear link between investment levels in firms and the well-being of families or incentives for having more children, natalists would likely remain neutral on this issue.

Disagree

Yes

Natalism, which focuses on policies and ideologies that encourage childbearing and population growth, might not see a direct link between taxing stock buybacks and its core objectives. However, if the revenue from such taxes were earmarked for family support or pro-natalist policies, natalists might be more supportive. Without a direct connection to supporting families or increasing birth rates, natalists would likely view this as outside their primary area of concern.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Banning stock buybacks might be seen by natalists as potentially harmful to economic growth and, by extension, to the financial stability of families. Since natalist policies often rely on a strong economy to fund initiatives like child benefits, parental leave, and education support, measures that could be perceived as damaging to economic health would likely be opposed unless there was a direct and clear benefit to family support or population growth.
