I'm normally not a fan of Carter of WND news but he says what he sees happening, elitist plutocracy?

http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/jimmy-carter-declares-u-s-democracy-dead/
America's 'worst damage' is it's now 'an oligarchy'

“We’ve become now an oligarchy instead of a democracy,” he said, the Daily Mail reported. “And I think that’s the worst damage to the basic moral and ethical standards to the American political system that I’ve ever seen in my life.”







“There’s no way now for you to get a Democratic or Republican nomination without being about to raise $200 or $300 million or more,” he said, during the interview which is due for broadcast soon. “I would not be inclined to do that and I would not be capable of doing it.”

Carter then went on to speak of the partisan divide on Capitol Hill.

“When you get to Washington, you’ve already alienated Democrats from Republicans, and Congress from the president, and red states and blue states,” he said, the Daily Mail said. “We never had any of that 25 or 30 years ago. I had just as much support from Republicans as I did Democrats when I ran for president. But I should have organized the Democratic Party to get me re-elected.”
