For one thing, Romney (unlike obummer) has actually run businesses and understands how business works. Instead of just seeking to punish those who accomplish something and vilifying evil corporations, he might be able to get something done.
There is a difference between punishing success and demanding the privileged pay their share back to society. Whether you believe in the role of the federal government to be a skeletal framework for the states to work with, or the greater role of taking care of its people... that should never change.
One can argue the semantics of where the money is going. Budget reforms and departmental reforms... but it is clear that there a lot of cases where the chips are stacked in the favor of very large companies. Oil subsidies, corporations paying their CEOs more than they pay in taxes... etc.
