Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns well with the liberal democratic values of promoting economic growth while ensuring long-term benefits for the community. By requiring that tax revenue eventually exceeds the incentives, this approach ensures that the investment is worthwhile for the city. An example of this approach is the tax incentives offered by Nevada to Tesla for its Gigafactory, which included projections of increased tax revenue.

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

Slightly agree

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

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

However, some liberal democracies have implemented policies to discourage offshoring, such as the United States' tax penalties for companies that move jobs overseas.
