The question in this poll is simple, but answering it may require some thought. What percent of a nation's significant problems, whether military, economic, social or moral, does its government have a responsibility to solve? Three weeks ago I would have chosen "between 70 and 80 percent", but having become more practical I have to choose "between 30 and 40 percent". There can also be no denying that opinions about government responsibility vary within both the American Left and the American Right.
