How a Childhood Experience Propelled Andy Puzder From Working Class to CEO

Andy Puzder has lived the American dream. Raised in a working-class home, he worked his way to become a CEO in the fast food industry. "What I didn't think was, 'That son of a b---- is stealing from us.' Or, 'He's in the 1%,' and we're in whatever percent you were in when your dad sold Fords in the 1960s," Puzder recalls of his childhood experience seeing a rich man's mansion. "What I thought was, 'I could do that.' And thank God I lived in a country where I could do that." We also cover the following stories: Sen.
