        INTRO:
        Next, I am going to ask you to choose which of two statements
        I read comes closer to your own opinion. You might agree to some
        extent with both, but we want to know which one is closer to your
        (2000: own) views.

        ONE, we need a strong government to handle today's complex
        economic problems; or
        TWO, the free market can handle these problems without government
        being involved
