The US is an oligarchy [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by LostOne4Ever (a host of the General Discussion forum).

So says former Democratic President Carter:

This cycle is proving that to be so. Carter deserves our respect, but then again, I guess that there are some who may just call him a left wing radical whacko here on DU. It seems that in a short time, the people here have gone very far to the right. They now think that this legal bribery is okay, and why change the system, because that would be too hard.
