Some people feel that the government in Washington should see to it
that every person has a job and a good standard of living. (1972-
1978,1996-later: Suppose these people are at one end of a scale, at
point 1). Others think the government should just let each person get
ahead on his/their own. (1972-1978,1996: Suppose these people are at
the other end, at point 7. And, of course, some other people have
opinions somewhere in between, at pints 2,3,4,5 or 6.)
Where would you place yourself on this scale, or haven't you thought
much about this? (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)
