VCF9079 President Placement: Guaranteed Jobs and Living Scale

QUESTION:
---------
Please look at page 9 of the booklet.
Some people feel the government in Washington should see
to it that every person has a job and a good standard of
living. 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 their own. Suppose these people
are at the other end, at point 7. And, of course, some
other people have opinions somewhere in between, at
points 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Where would you place [president] on this issue?
