Government does not control job creation, but controls the climate of job creation: taxation and regulation.  Small business creates 70% of all new jobs--which makes it difficult to understand why Indiana legislators have decided to heavily regulate the Indiana wine industry by passing overbearing shipping laws.  And, why would they carelessly choose to kick N.K. Hurst out of business to accommodate a new stadium?  Despite all the big business brought to Indiana, small business can create 40% more jobs.  Politicians attract jobs to appease voters but limit job growth by restricting small business.  The low value placed on small business by our politicians is detrimental to the well-being of the state. 
    Fortune magazine once reported that 8% of all jobs and companies disappear by natural attrition each year.  According to Forbes magazine, of all the "Fortune 100" companies in existence from 1900-2000, only 18% survived.  But small business kept cranking out new jobs. 
    In his book Something for Nothing,  Brian Tracy points out "The ten states with the lowest taxes and regulations in the United States have growth rates that are double those of the ten states with the highest taxes and regulations."  To build the economy, Indiana must slash taxes and reduce regulations, making it conducive for small business growth.  To slash taxation lawmakers must possess the will to do so.
    When John F. Kennedy asked Werner Von Braun (the head of the U.S. space program) what it would take to put a man on the moon, Von Braun answered "The will to do it."  The same is true for creating jobs and fixing government.  Voters must have the will to replace politicians with statesmen.
