A Stupid Gimmick Nothing is quite as ridiculous as a person who objects to paying taxes driving around with a license plate saying “INDIANA — Land of Taxes.” Why is it silly and wrong? Because it influences others, without just cause, to think of Indiana as a high-tax state, one where industry and workers shouldn’t locate. This is perfectly false, as anyone who has lived in other states will happily testify. In fact, in a discussion on this subject Wednesday, a local businessman who has lived in several other states in the past ten years readily points out that he. and business, pay less total tax in Indiana than in any 'of the other states, including a southern border state, that he has lived in. The state Chamber of Commerce points out that they, the state office of commerce, and many others have been bringing interested industries into South Bend and other depressed areas, to see if they are interested in locating factories and workers here. About one-fourth have asked about the embarassing license plates. Why do some people feel that taxes are so high here? Partly because of their lack of experience in other states, and partly because they have not seen figures comparing the tax burdens. And also because Indiana has gone 30 years, longer than any other state, without an overhaul of taxes. Then everything was changed at one time, leading to frustration, misunderstanding and confusion. These license plates, as the state Chamber and many other newspapers and commentators in the state have pointed out, are a sick joke that should be laid to rest. These license plates present a false Hoosier image to others, and can do real harm. Sure, we all are mad about taxes, none of us want to pay more than our share. But slogans who keep other big taxpayers out of our state can only raise our own taxes. And it is rather stupid to cut off one’s nose to spite his face! This is something that Democrats and Republicans alike, from Gov. Welsh to 14. Gov. Ristine, agreed on — if we want to .geUinore job opportunities, more business, more in Indiana, we cannot knock our own state and expect to get it. Don’t you agree that it’s foolish to contribute to higher taxes by driving out fellow taxpayers? Editorial written byDick Heller
