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.”
