Jimmy Carter Uses The Oligarchy Word: Blasts U.S. 'Political Bribery' [View all]

Carter was asked about Supreme Court cases like Citizen United, which he said has turned American into an "oligarchy."

"It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president," Carter said.
