Omar knows nothing about America and her economy (For Muslim women like me), who escaped countries where Islam defined, demeaned and suffocated our lives, to live in America, it was jolting hearing the greeting in a place we associate with freedom.

Omar scares the heck out of me...women who live secrete lives and then tell Americans how to live theirs...Since 2016, Alpha News has been following a trail of evidence that suggests Omar may have married her brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in order to aid Elmi in obtaining U.S. citizenship. The two were married in 2009 and later divorced in 2017. While being legally married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar has publicly identified Ahmed Hirsi as her cultural husband and father of her children. .........

Oh, yes, why stop at 90%? Take it all.

But keep in mind that every dollar taken from a wealthy person's company is a dollar that would have been paid to a supplier or vendor (who has employees), paid directly in salaries or benefits to employees, or lent to financial institutions to be re-lent to regular Americans as home mortgages, car loans, or loans for starting small businesses.

So please...just take it all.

...calls for sharp tax increases on the wealthy

The thing about this is not necessarily the call for “tax increases”, although I am whole-heartedly AGAINST THAT, it is the question of WHO DECIDES the definition of “wealthy”.

In order to promote communism in China, the wealthy were forced out of their homes which were divided among a number of families who had to share the restroom or kitchen. But, in most cases the restroom was locked or made private by those lucky enough to be attached to a room that had one, and the rest were left to using chamber pots. The kitchens were shared but eventually each family moved onto the street to cook because everyone insisted on cooking at about the same times.

Any move the left makes towards this kind of tax farce is a move towards socialism/communism, and anyone who believes this rhetoric needs to spend time in a communist country (outside of the city-centers).

She's also using Congress to push the violent ISIS agenda.
Given her propensity for fraud, it is imperative that L/E determine
:

(A) her membership in violent Muslim Somali organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt,
(B) her knowledge of Somalis that pulled off the $300 Million daycare thievery, and,
(C) whether the Somali daycare fraud money financed her campaign,
(d) the number of US govt checks she is cashing now or has cashed in the past.

Americans demand this person be ousted from OUR Congress.
This woman is adept at finagling her identity.....how many identities is she using?

Is she using multiple identities to cheat taxpayers....collecting US freebies under multiple identities?
Universal Program for Subsidized Phones for Low Income (ObamaPhones),
Housing Assistance---they get $1000, only use $400, taxpayers pay the rest;
EBT Food Stamps (SNAP),
ObamaCare Subsidies for Immigrants,
ObamaCare Subsidies for Low Income, Medicaid,
TANF Welfare,
Energy Assistance,
IRS-EITC,
General Assistance Cash,
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
Assets for Independence,
School Lunch Block Grant,
Job Assistance,
Job Training,
Minority Job Assistance,
Job Relocation,
Woman Infants and Children's Program,
Refugee Jobs Program,
Needy Families Cash Assistance,
Migrant Education Grants,
Title One Grants to Local Education Authorities,
Social Security for Refugees

==========================================

It is imperative that we determine
(A) her membership in Somali organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt,
(B) her knowledge of the groups that pulled off the daycare thievery, and,
(C) whether the daycare fraud money financed her campaign,
the number of US govt checks she is cashing now or has has cashed in the past.

Any infraction of US law disqualifies her from being seated in Congress.

ACTION NOW:

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

US CONGRESS SWITCHBOARD: (202) 224-3121

U.S. Department of Justice Comment Line: 202-353-1555 Switchboard: 202-514-2000


FBI tip line web site----https://www.fbi.gov/tips
FBI electronic fraud unit----www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/common-fraud-schemes/internet-fraud
FBI Major Case Contact Center: 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324)

============================

Demographics of Minnesota: “Over 85.0% of Minnesota’s residents are of European descent, with the largest reported ancestries being German (38.6%), Norwegian (17.0%), Irish (11.9%), and Swedish (9.8%). The Hispanic population of Minnesota is increasing, much like in other parts of the United States and recent immigrants have come from all over the world, including Hmong, Somalis, Vietnamese, and emigrants from the former Soviet bloc.”

Americans demand this person be ousted from OUR Congress if she knew anything at all about the ripoff of
taxpayers-----the shocking $300 million Somali daycare thievery......and the amount of fraud money that possibly financed her campaign.

The tax would only apply to non-Muslims...as a Jiyza.

70% or 90% tax at highest bracket would kill the capital markets. Why would any one risk their money in order for the government to confiscate their profit, should their investment succeed?

This would kill the markets for middle class people who want to invest for their retirement through IRAs etc.

Would make us all poorer.

If you have to have a hyphen before “American” to describe your heritage, you are not assimilated enough to be in congress.

Sure, tax the rich up to the eyeballs. Everyone secretly wants to be unemployed. Really?

Miss Mogadishu should think about where she came from (and so should the people who voted for her.). Another thug from another country doing all they can to recreate the poverty, violence and corruption in this country that they escaped from.

(One has to wonder how the survivors and families of the massacre in Mogadishu feel about this woman and her garbage).

If someone gets to keep only 10% of what he earns, he is not “WEALTHY”!

If someone gets $40,000 in government benefits for not having any income, he has an income: $40,000.

If a “homeless” person is put up in a hotel by the state, he is not homeless.

How about we cut off all welfare to muslims and let them go back to their countries?

THAT would save a lot of $$$.
