“Business guy” is such a stupid phrase that only seems to be reserved for rich white guys. Would Rick Scott say that about a Latino guy who runs a taco shop?

And then that reminds me of how you always hear the most uninformed Republican voters say, “The government should be run like a business.” It’s a cutesy phrase. (These people also love term limits.) But then, Republicans do the exact opposite. Yet they also are more likely to elect “business people” to office. The whole thing can be dumbed down to rich people helping rich people.

If it was a Democrat they would be dismissed as part of the "managerial class" somehow that label does not apply to rich assholes who surround themselves with toadies and yes men and have never done a day of labor ever.
