Want to understand why we live in such politically polarized times? In the new NBC-Wall Street Journal national poll is a question that explains the partisan rift as simply and as well as we have seen. Respondents were asked to decide which of two statements better represented their own views. The first statement was that “government should do more to solve problems and help meet the needs of people.” The second was “government is doing too many things better left to business and individuals.” [cont.]
