> Note that 'pro-business' is a politically empty phrase. After all, no candidate in any election would claim to be 'anti-business'. Not sure I agree, for instance no candidate would claim to be 'anti-life', but that doesn't make 'pro-life' a politically empty phrase. In that case, you know exactly what someone means by it. But pro-business is definitely vague. It might just as well mean 'friendly with industrialists' as wanting to spark wide-based growth.
