Ex-President Jimmy Carter is fed up with the current state of America, and according to Carter, what’s worse is the current state of America’s political system of governing. It seems one of the country’s most beloved Presidents to ever hold office isn’t going to spend his golden years being a mere observer, which is quite possibly, the reason people love him most.

During an interview with the BBC, Mr. Carter had a mouthful to say about the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling:

‘The erroneous ruling of the Supreme Court, where millionaires and billionaires can put in unlimited amounts of money in to the campaign, it gives legal bribery a chance to prevail, because almost all the candidates, whether they are honest or not, Democrat or Republican, rely on these massive amounts of money in order to campaign.’

President Carter is clearly referencing GOP, along with Hillary Clinton’s campaigns being funded by Wall Street corporations. Carter makes a lot of sense too. How efficient can a President be to his or her constituents if their first priority is ensuring that the cash cow is fed?

What’s also a bit worrisome to Carter is the fact that individual contributors can donate as much money to a candidate as they please. For example, Marco Rubio has a single contributor who has donated between $15-$25 million dollars to his campaign. So if pigs started flying and Rubio were actually elected President, what hoops would he have to jump through for that single contributor? Whatever those hoops would be, you can be sure that they would only benefit the rich and further enslave the poor.

So, what Jimmy Carter is trying to get through to people is that the SCOTUS ruling has to be overturned. Otherwise, it is money that will govern the country, and money simply doesn’t mix with humanity.

Thank you, Mr. Carter, for giving a voice to the millions of Americans who can do little more than watch the country crumble around them.
