One of the reasons I can't stand modern Republicans is because many forget how private property requires properness. The current GOP is very utilitarian in that it privatizes the rule of law itself via lobbying and lawyering instead of advocating social values and procedural justice first.
If Romney asked this simple question, he could stop looking apologetic, stop being defensive, and actually make Obama defend his track record. He could also prove to independents that he's not an elitist despite his economic expertise, claiming that the key to economic success is hands off, allowing for creative thinking, and not trying to be some micromanaging Keynesian who treats the economy like his own private enterprise.
What Romney needs to do is remind Americans why they're unconfident. He needs to run on a platform of transparency, openness, and a willingness to combat corruption so Americans can see how the insides of Washington work. That way, Americans themselves become convinced that bureaucratic reform is necessary in order to create not only a more stable investment environment, but a more stable legal environment in general.
Many Americans are paranoid these days in how social lawsuits seem to be around every corner as well, so they live with reservations because they're afraid of stepping on other people's toes. By reminding people about social conservatism, Romney can alleviate this fear by bringing together holistic community. As an added bonus, this social confidence will drive up demand such that the economy has something to produce for again.
