Proof?
I’ve posted it before, just review your pings. You won’t though, you already know it is true.
Robert Mercer. The hedge fund magnate has battled with the federal government, which claims his firm, Renaissance, avoided paying several billion in taxes through artful tax strategies. So Mercer’s interests seem to align with Cruz’s animosity toward the IRS. Mercer’s money will reportedly be split among 4 super PACs, with each presumably taking a different role in the way they advocate for Cruz.
Club for Growth: Amount donated to Cruze since 2011: $706,000.
Senate Conservatives Fund: $316,000.
Woodforest National Bank (community bank based in Houston): $112,000.
Goldman Sachs: $69,000.
Morgan Lewis LLP (Philadelphia-based law firm with significant energy-sector practice): $68,000.
The $69,000 from Goldman is one of the largest sums employees from the Wall Street firm have donated to a single candidate during the last few years. The firm has given money to well over 100 candidates since 2012, but only six got more from Goldman than Cruz - and two of them were Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Heidi Cruz, the candidate’s wife, manages investments for wealthy clients at Goldman’s Houston office, so personal connections may have helped raise the money. (Heidi Cruz announced she’ll be taking a leave of absence from Goldman during her husband’s campaign.)
