I tried to find if it was a repeat or not but wow at 93 this is impressive. Just to have a very adult and current dialogue that he would have with a partition of any age. This has nothing to do with my political views or yours.I mean think of the 90-year-olds you know when your life they could have this sort of conversation

He’s a very lucid speaker. He just doesn’t know when to shut up.

The best healthcare the United States Federal Government can buy you usually does wonders for your health.

It's no repeat. Cobert was cracking on Sean Penn supposedly the other night bc Penn said he was on Ambien. Cobert said something like "Carter is coming on Friday. He's 93. Can you bring now energy to the table than he will?"

If only he was a more effective POTUS, he’d be an absolute legend of life but he wasn’t and therefore his legacy suffers in part

Jimmy Carter
I remember when he was president.
I bought a house during his years.
Paid 9.25% interest on that loan.
Aaaahhhh, those were the good old days!!!

The best part of Jimmy Carter's presidency came when his term expired. Probably the worst white president of my lifetime, while Obama was the worst black president of my lifetime.

I remember my dad telling me that the top rate on income was 70% during the Carter years. That would be hard to swallow.
It kicked in at $203,000

It was even higher (90%) in the boom years of the 50s and 60s.

There were massive loopholes in the tax code that allowed most of the wealthy of that day to pay far, far less. Also, because of WW2 the US at that time was responsible for just over 60% of the total manufacturing going on in the entire world. We are far from that point today.
Because there is so much more manufacturing going on around the world and the far greater mobility that today's technology allows, businesses and the uber wealthy now have far more opportunities to move if taxation here becomes too burdensome here in the US. The recent tax package lowering the corporate tax (and the resulting wage increases and/or bonuses) is the result of such offshoring going on due to the formerly high rate. To think we could just impose such an insanely high tax on the most mobile of citizens without their eventually leaving to avoid such taxation is the height of denying reality.
And finally there's this...
The individual tax revenues as a % of GDP were not nearly as good during the high taxation rates of the 50's and 60's as they have been when rates have been far lower.

You posted last night that you were going to off yourself on the same day Jesus died because you had not accomplished certain life goals--that you decided this a few years ago...
We are DYING to know....please update.

The last true Christian president. He walked the walk.

The nuclear engineer who grew peanuts, said you sinned if you looked at sexy women, allowed Iran to keep our hostages, had a brother who made Billy Beer, started building houses for the poor but now needs to shut the **** up.

I've been able to spend time with him. Personally he is a very good and very genuine man.

He was a horrible speaker at age 50. Extremely high pitch staccato laced with long meaningless pauses between each burst within a sentence.
