The clincher for me is that while businesses can pick and choose their customers (We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone), government has to provide services to everyone, even the loser creeps who aren't worth a quarter billion dollars. I don't think Mr. Romney has the first clue about how to do that, and his record at Bain, as Shapiro notes, certainly doesn't support any argument to the contrary.
