1. Should ISPs be responsible for abuse from within their customer base?

Not sure, ISPs role is just to move packets from A to B, you need to
clearly define what constitutes abuse and how much of it is considered
a crime.

If I call your home every five minutes to harass you over the phone is
AT&T responsible ?

How does the question change with a "regulator" telling them they are?

And does it matter if I refuse all calls from ATT because they don't?
