Republican Party

Strongly agree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

Republicans generally support limited government intervention in the private sector and believe in free-market solutions. They would likely agree with this answer, as it aligns with their preference for minimal government involvement in private businesses. However, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) during the 2008 financial crisis shows that they may be willing to consider government ownership of shares in extreme circumstances.

Agree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

Republicans generally support free-market competition and may agree that government ownership of private companies could stifle competition and impede technological progress. However, their willingness to consider government equity stakes in companies during extreme circumstances, such as the 2008 financial crisis with the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), suggests that they may not strongly agree with this answer in all situations.

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

However, they would likely not strongly support this idea as a general principle.
