Jimmy Carter on the American oligarchyHe was a truth-teller. We should remember what he said — and act on it.Friends, Today is a national day of mourning for Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29 at 100 years old. His funeral will take place at the Washington National Cathedral. In a proclamation after Carter’s death, President Biden called him “a man of character, courage, and compassion.” He was also a man of truth. One of his many remarkable abilities was a willingness to state truths about America that the public needed to hear, without regard for whom he might offend by doing so. I came across an interview he did with Thom Hartmann on July 30, 2015. In response to Hartmann’s noting that the Supreme Court now allows “unlimited money in politics,” Carter said this:
May we remember the truths that Jimmy Carter told us — and act to remedy them. May we get big money out of politics. May we end the gross inequalities of wealth and political bribery that lie at the center of America’s oligarchy. And may former President Jimmy Carter rest in peace. |
