Makers and Takers

Harold Meyerson notes that, when it came to campaign contributions, President Obama "won" the high-tech sector, while Willard "I Thought I Had It In The Bag" Romney "won" the banksters and casino moguls:
"Obama won overwhelming backing from the most productive and innovative sector of American capitalism. Romney won the backing of finance and casinos, whose contributions to American productivity and well-being are more difficult to discern, and which are industries based on reshuffling resources in games the house almost always wins. Obama, if you will, won the makers; Romney, the takers."
We all know which is the "smart" money.
