Cruz Slams Wife’s Employer for ‘Crony Capitalism’

March 25, 2015 · 4:51 am ET · 46 Comments

In an interview with Bloomberg, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took a shot at Goldman Sachs, his wife’s employer, when asked if the bank was a positive or negative force on society.

Said Crus: “Goldman is one of the biggest banks on Wall Street, and my criticism with Washington is they engage in crony capitalism. They give favors to Wall Street and big business… Like many other players on Wall Street and big business, they seek out and get special favors from government. I think they’re entitled to practice their business, but without subsidies or special benefits.”
