That is a lie. We're "mad" about Castro seizing power and nationalizing everything under his oppressive regime.

Most of the valuable agricultural land that Castro nationalized was owned by US businesses. The people working the land did not own the land. The US businesses ended up owning the land because of the Spanish American War.
