Romney's gaffe about gifts is just the facts being told without care.

Unfiltered truths in today's world is an evil thing. People don't want to be offended or described in ways that are fact but is regarded as being mean. Romney's talk about gifts that Obama gave out is fact. It was pandering the likes no one has ever seen and Republicans thought people would see thru it. The shock is people didn't care and loved Obama being Santa Claus. The reality is you can't say that it was gifts.

His vision of a better America than Obama’s was one that rewarded success rather than penalized it and gave running room to entrepreneurs to realize the American dream.

But such a vision isn’t actually inclusive. It speaks to those whose energies will likely make them successes no matter what they do — and says little to people who don’t think of life in such dynamic terms.

Many people crave security and stability rather than risk-taking, and that doesn’t make them any less American. They are the workers rather than the job creators, and all societies need both.

Romney is right that the Obama vision is too centered on government. But his is too centered on the promotion of business and wealth creation at the expense of everything else.

The American dream, as Jindal said, is achieved just as readily by a person who moves from poverty into the middle class as it is by someone who builds a small business. Indeed, that social mobility is probably more reflective of the enduring nature of the American dream than an individual burst of creative success.

The inability to grasp this essential fact was Romney’s great weakness as a candidate. It implicitly led him to the signal blunder that probably cost him the presidency — the video in which he said that he couldn’t reach 47 percent of the electorate because they had grown too dependent on government and viewed themselves as victims.

So its not about the takers vs the makers, its the workers vs creators. Same thing nicer terminology. The sad fact is many people do not have the ambition or dedication to start a small business or being a creator. Just don't tell them.
