So 75% of the public has at least a partially functioning brain?

Not enough.
It needs to be 90+%.
With 75% of those seriously pissed off about it.

Keep working, lots to do. ;)

I'm in the 75% who distrusts the federal government, but I also distrust it 100% of the time to do 10% of what it currently does because 99% of the time it does less than 5% of what the Constitution allows it to do, as it caters to 51% of the voters (most of which know less than 1% of how a republic functions) who represent about 25% of the actual population.

The problem with this is most people have no problem condemning the government as a whole, but when it comes to specific person within it they like it. That's why congress has 20% approval but will likely have 85%+ incumbancy rate.

I think the more noteworthy information is that 25% of the population actually trusts the government. WTF?

Touché!

However, the real question is how many people will eventually be government employees?
