Our Income Tax System is a disgrace to the human race.
Jimmy Carter
Image
The oil lobby, perhaps the most powerful lobby on earth, is almost matched by hospital owners and doctors.

Jimmy Carter
Image
In many courts, plea bargaining serves the convenience of the judge and the lawyers, not the ends of justice, because the courts simply lack the time to give everyone a fair trial.
Jimmy Carter
