The people who 'squirm' are those who reflexively and defensively react in knee-jerk fashion to what they perceive as a dismissive attack on the 'worth' of 'what they have achieved', because they believe 'nothing was ever handed to them'. It's the same sort of mentality as seen on the right when the President pointed out that no business was built in a vacuum, that every business benefits from things government provides, such as transportation networks, security from criminal activity, and laws that prevent businesses from being defrauded.
