Why Capitalism, Not Socialism, Encourages Morality, According to a Former CEO

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Andy Puzder grew up in a blue-collar home. He went on to be the CEO of a major fast-food company and he credits capitalism for helping him improve his lot in life. Now he wants young Americans to understand that socialism isn’t just ineffective, but is morally inferior to capitalism.

We also cover these stories:
• Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issues a warning to China on the thirtieth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
• Mexico’s Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard is warning U.S. against imposing tariffs, saying they would be counterproductive.
• A former Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, is booed for speaking out against socialism.
