''Despite Negativity, Americans Mixed Role of Gov't''

This article is about the broad perspective in which America views their government. Democrats, Republicans, and independent parties were surveyed about the way they feel about the governments existing role in the U.S. Generally the underlying question focuses on the amount of power the government should and should not have.
According to Gallup, ''57% percent of Americans believe the government today has too much power''. He also stated,'' Americans were least likely to be concerned about the government's power in the years immediately after 9/11, but half or more since 2005 have said it has too much power''. ~Gallup. I think that the government has the right amount of power in certain areas, and too much power in other areas.
From 2002- 2011 the majority of Americans believed the government had too many regulations regarding businesses ~Gallup. I have noticed that the government regulations has made it more difficult to manage a business. This may have to do with the financial crisis that raised in 2008. Or it might because of the fact that banks were not willing to lend throughout the duration of the initial recession. Either way there have noticeably been more stiff regulations regarding business in America.
I perceive the U.S government as a learning body all together. I believe that with time and dedication that the people will see many beneficial changes. If we all do what is required for us to make it work then things should definitely change for the better. There may be a lot of red tape in multiple areas at the moment, and the integrity of the system might appear questionable, but it doesn't really matter as long as we continue to push forward collectively.
