Why the Squad of four congresswomen hates America

The "Squad" of four congresswomen, all of who despise American values. It is a battle between America and the progressive, globalist left. Recently, I have been getting in touch with the four congresswomen, all criticized by Donald Trump as being "very racist" and "troublemaking". The four congresswomen of the Squad are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (MN-5), Ayanna Pressley (MA-7), and Rashida Tlaib (MI-13).

Even worse, now they are calling to abolish ICE (the Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the Department of Homeland

Bigger government usually translates to less personal freedom. Here is a list of all liberal policies that lead to failure: High taxes (when you overtax the rich, you end up getting LESS tax revenue in the long run). A low-tax environment was key for nations to prosper. Too much taxation is what is going on in California, resulting in significantly less purchasing power for your money there than in the rest of the nation. Millions fled high-tax regions for lower tax regions for the last several decades. Bernie Sanders shows his hatred of success by demanding higher taxes on the rich. He said "I say to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump: Instead of repealing the estate tax, let’s substantially increase this tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires and reduce wealth inequali
