A "Good Businessman" knows how to become rich or at least comfortably situated. Either through actually being a savvy businessman or through cheating and grifting.
And people want to be "comfortable", to at least be able to be able to pay all their bills and have enough left over they don't have to worry about paying for a regular bit of fun or gifts.

Too many people believe that a "Good Businessman" would treat the economy like his or her own business. Ignoring the sociopathy required to cater to shareholders to make more money over one's actual business and success of their product.

Also, Democrats talk about watching waist size (not quite belt tightening) and sharing to ensure everyone gets a fair chance to thrive.
Republicans talk about collecting all the cookies because "you deserve it".
Sort of a marshmallow test for the American Public.
But unfortunately, too many Americans fail.
