US Is An Oligarchy With Unlimited Political Bribery

So says former President Jimmy Carter:

Former president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday on the nationally syndicated radio show the Thom Hartmann Program that the United States is now an “oligarchy” in which “unlimited political bribery” has created “a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors.” Both Democrats and Republicans, Carter said, “look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves.”

This may be the most honest statement you will hear from any US politician this political cycle.


I recommend we put Jimmy Carter in charge of our Israeli policy. He's the only one for a long time who has been willing to stand up to their thefts, murders, war crimes, and apartheid policies.


Maybe he could be our "Secretary of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction".


Update: Here is the same basic claim from another angle:
