First, stock buybacks don’t benefit the vast majority of Americans.

So freaking what? That's like saying, "If you don't own any stock you don't get and dividends!" and that ain't fair!............

Vast majority of Americans are not directly investing in particular companies either.

Investors come first, this is Management 101, I mean come on, our society is being dumb down by the second with this kind of political manipulation.

The buyback is designed to benefit the guy who pulled money out of his pocket to buy the stock. To invest in the company.

Perhaps we can trade Bernie for a Venezuelan baseball player?

Exactly - how many folks w/o certain stocks tried to buy them and couldn’t find any available? Don’t buy stocks and don’t expect to profit from them....must be a racist/sexist/homophobic principal that hurts women/children/minorities most...just waiting for them to clarify the fine points for us.
