We are the world's leading power and single largest economy
Several states are, in their own right, larger and stronger than many other leading world nations.
While it is absolutely correct to say that our leaders should listen to the voice of the people, the notion that they should be ordinary common folk or go along with the "will of the people" (whatever that actually is) is every circumstance is just plain wrong.
I expect our leaders to be extremely well qualified, educated, experienced, possessed of sound judgement, and have the courage to use that judgement to make difficult and sometimes unpopular decisions when the situation warrants.
They should be well compensated, and I would further expect that whatever endeavors they pursued before entering public service probably rewarded them well for all of the same attributes that makes them qualified to steer the nation.
