Why was reagan a popular candidate for small businesses?

Reagan wanted to cut taxes, destroy labor unions, increase military expenditures and distribute more money to the business class not the working class. Also, he was anti-regulation of any kind; environmental, labor, urban and rural development, pushed for the privatization of historically public responsibilities ie. privatize schools, prisons, transportation systems, FAA, affordable housing, research and development, the military, energy, communication, etc.
