Jimmy Carter in Our Revolution

On Government Reform: Unlimited money in politics violates essence of America

Carter said unlimited money in politics "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 nomination for president. And the same thing applies to governors and Congress. So now we've just seen a complex subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election's over."
