事实上，不论哪位候选人，让拿政府福利的美国人相信他们与其说是受助者，不如说是依赖者、相信把票投给让他们生活更好的政客是不对的、让他们相信好的公共政策应该造成而不是避免人类灾难都不是易事。
In fact, it would be a tough sell for any candidate to convince Americans who receive government benefits that they are dependent rather than empowered; that it is bad for people to vote for politicians who make their lives better; and that good public policy seeks to create human catastrophe rather than to avert it.
