Attitudes towards Government

Since 1776, Americans have generally had doubts about the value of government. Columnist George Will, writing in the Washington Post last year, summed up the average citizen's experience with government.

"The average American has regular contact with the federal government at three points - the IRS, the Post Office and the TSA. Start with that fact if you are formulating a unified field theory to explain the public's current political mood."

Enough said!
