what kind of incentive should government give to a business? why don’t the regular rules of free markets apply here?

what is a “government incentive” anyway? isn’t that just them giving OUR money to someone?

No incentive needed...gov't just needs to get out of the way and let the markets function. The regular rules do not apply because government is involved neck deep in the market.

What it means is creating a climate where business is WELCOME.

One reason there are fewer and fewer insurance companies in my state is because of the high risk. The government knows our state is at high risk but doesn’t do much to make it good for the businesses to come back.

So no, it isn’t “giving” money to someone. On the contrary, an incentive to bring businesses down to the state would be a money-saving move...every consumer of a product will benefit when there is more competition.
