yes they did have many business connections, it just so happens that one of the main business connections they had, already attempted to overthrow the FDR government less than 10 years earlier that you can read about under 'business plot' here:

that business connection went on to doing business with another facist party, and when war broke out continued doing business with that fascist party but simply cooked his books so it wouldn't seem that way.

another interesting note on this was 'standard oil', a partner in that aforementioned business plot, also owned by Prescott Bush, was refueling german uboats, and reported caught on film by the US Coast Guard.

so yes, they had business connections.. Ford for example.. its just some business connections were tried for treason for it, and those business connections had already attempted their own facist coups. and currently, that same family seems to be responsible quite a few wars..
