        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)
