    My top issue has been get money out of politics since I was 18 (like ~15 years ago). It blows my mind it never even cracks the top 20 for most Americans

      Hopefully its anecdotal but a lot of the people I talk to at work seem to think the government should be run like a business. So that should speak to intelligence.
