How about no companies are allowed to buy their own stocks? It makes no sense and just sets up a company to focus on one thing- raising the stock price. When all the companies do it, it seems like an elaborate multi-sector price fixing scheme. If they all have so much extra money, they could be lowering the prices on their products for consumers.

It absolutely has to be legal and normal to distribute profits to business owners, in order for capitalism to function.

If you want to entirely abolish capitalism, so be it, that's a position many smart people do indeed hold, but I'm not sure if you realized that that's what your position is basically tantamount to.
