Ted Cruz at CPAC (Screen Grab)
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz proclaimed that, "Big is bad, across the board."
"Big government sucks!" Cruz railed from the stage in Orlando. "Big business sucks! Big tech, big Hollywood, big universities — any accumulation of power that is centralized, is fundamentally dangerous."
In response to a clip of Cruz's remarks on Twitter, several commenters pointed out that his wife, Heidi Cruz, works as a top executive at Goldman Sachs, which is No. 59 on the Fortune 500.
