President Carter calls America an Oligarchy



"Carter has been notably quiet about President Trump. But on this night, two years into Trump’s term, he’s not holding back.


“I think he’s a disaster,” Carter says.


 “In human rights and taking care of people

   and treating people equal.”

"Carter says he thinks the Supreme Court’s 

Citizens United decision

 has “changed our political system

 from a democracy to an oligarchy.


 Money is now preeminent.


 I mean, it’s just gone to hell now.”
