Rex Bell, Libertarian candidate for Governor of Indiana, claims that current Governor Mike Pence isn’t getting the full picture. “We’re seeing a lot of commercials where the Governor is taking credit for creating jobs. Most people nowadays realize government doesn’t create jobs. People do, and they create them in spite of government, not because of it. We need to consider the number of jobs lost, or not created, because of excessive regulation and taxation.â€
The Libertarian Party supports free-markets with minimal government intervention.“Government needs to stop picking winners and losers,†says Bell. “Last month Henry County offered one company a 100% property tax abatement, while at the same time leaving the taxes in affect for other businesses. We should all be calling foul. If government really wants to help, it needs to eliminate property taxes for everybody, not just the chosen few.â€
