Today's fourth article of The Washington Post series on "The
Politics of Mistrust" is:
"Public Grows More Receptive to Anti-Government Message."
The public sees the quality of life deteriorating or not
improving from the 1960s, with family breakup, increased
violence, a failure to produce better jobs, and, in
addition,
with the Cold War over, they don't see any real reduction
in
the risks of the possibility of a third world war. All
this
occurs at a time when taxes have been increasing. The
small
government, low tax environment creates a real opportunity
for
Republicans.... The general force of this sense of no
progress
is to favor the more conservative party.
