Granted, democratic political leaders must be responsive to the people, and money and jobs are clearly on people’s minds. According to a recent survey, among first-year university students in the United States in 2012, 88% cited getting a better job as an important reason for attending college, and 81% listed “being very well off financially” as an “essential” or “very important” goal.
诚然，民主政治领袖必须响应民众的愿望，金钱和工作显然为民众所关注。据最近一项调查显示，在2012年美国大学一年级新生中，88%把找到好工作列为上大学的重要理由，还有81%把“经济富裕”列为“最重要”或“非常重要”的目标。
