On Friday, Fox Business host Charles Payne asserted that Vice President Kamala Harris is initiating a “war on capitalism” through her efforts to exert “control” over the economy. During a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, Harris unveiled her economic strategy, which includes a commitment to implement a federal prohibition on corporate “price-gouging” related to food and groceries.
Payne argued on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” that Harris’ newly unveiled economic policies prove her campaign is “infatuated” with a “government knows all, does all, can provide all” approach.
“What we’re talking about is a war on capitalism,” Payne said. “They really do not believe in capitalism … I never bought in that she was shifting her spots, you know. But then the selection of the governor from Minnesota [Tim Walz] solidified this. They are infatuated with some sort of big government knows all, does all, can provide all, and they are not fans of the for-profit motivation or capitalism … it’s always about control. They want to control, they want to be able to pick winners and losers and they want to be able to punish those losers.”
