SEATTLE’S SOCIALIST MAYOR HAS ONE WORD FOR HIGH-EARNERS FLEEING THE CITY:
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, a total socialist, earned ridicule after brushing off concerns about high-earners fleeing the city due to her tax policies.
During an event at Seattle University, she said, “the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown.” For the millionaires who are leaving, she had one word: “Bye.”
She made the comments while defending her ridiculous “millionaire tax” and promising to come up with “progressive” ways to steal more money from the wealthy at the city level.
Wilson portrayed herself as a proponent for “progressive taxation” who isn’t interested in catering to the wealthy or business owners concerned about higher tax burdens. She argued, “overall, we still have a deeply regressive tax system, and my office is actively exploring our options regarding progressive taxation.” She noted that Seattle has “greater flexibility” than the county when it comes to swiping cash from people’s pockets. The mayor further insisted that it is “detrimental for Seattle’s business climate when the costs of operating in downtown Seattle are significantly misaligned with those in neighboring Bellevue.”
Good and hard, Jet City:

To be fair though, articulate responses to the issues of the day do not seem to be Wilson’s strong suit:
There has never been a better example for how the entire ideological movement has one weakness, the follow up question. The entire party just says things and then gets mad when you ask them to clarify. https://t.co/SBmzd3OsHZ
