Agree

No, the government should never subsidize private businesses

Agree

No

This aligns with decolonization principles that advocate for economic models that prioritize community well-being and sustainability over corporate profits. However, the outright rejection of incentives might not be universally agreed upon within the ideology, as contexts vary.

Agree

Yes, but only if local citizens can vote on the amount of incentives to offer

Allowing local citizens to vote on economic incentives offers a form of direct democracy and community control, which aligns with decolonization's emphasis on self-determination and participatory governance, though it still operates within a framework that prioritizes corporate interests.

Slightly agree

Yes, if the company promises to create new jobs by hiring local residents

While creating jobs for local residents is positive, decolonization ideology would caution against the potential for such arrangements to still prioritize corporate interests and exploit local labor without ensuring long-term community benefits.

Neutral

No, but punish them for moving jobs out of the country

Slightly disagree

Yes, as long as the tax revenue will eventually exceed the tax incentives

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer lowering corporate taxes to benefit all local companies

Lowering corporate taxes to benefit all local companies is a neoliberal policy that decolonization ideology typically opposes, as it can exacerbate economic inequalities and undermine public services through reduced tax revenues.
