Seattle's Socialist Mayor Has One Word for High-Earners Fleeing the City

Jeff Charles | May 02, 2026 10:00 AM

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.”

I'm somewhat impressed with the fact that Katie Wilson only has a high school education.

There are some people who attend universities for 6-8 years before they get that stupid. 
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

Right.  She is just plain old uneducated stupid.  Darn near retarded.

Communists have zero concept of human nature.  They seriously believe that if you double taxes on a person, that person will work twice as much to make up the difference and maintain the same net income.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Our educattional system is to blame in large part.  We no longer teach our children anything!

Gone in education are the following:

Geography
Hand writing
Math
History
Critical thinking
Proper behavior and interaction with other humans
Political Science
...and any religious belief in a supreme being

We have dumbed down our society about as far as we can go IMHO.  Any dumber, and we begin to compete qith the lowest third world countries.  But to make sure we did bring it down a notch, Wrecking Ball Joe provided the country with a mass infusion of 25 million +/- low income, low IQ dependents mostly on welfare to soak up more dollars and be dependent on the federal government for survival, ever loyal to the Democommies.

There is only one way out of this in my eyes.  Complete deportation of all illegals and EVERY person that entered under Biden.  At some point, we need a 2nd civil war to purge the USA of the total idiocy that prevails today.

I agree up to the point about a civil war.  Yes, it is needed, but leadership is paramount in a successful purging of ILLEGALS.  Right now there is too much pushback by the leftists and that's not going to change.  They've created a stranglehold on this country and they know it. Conservatives are starting to come up missing and disappearing .... assassinations ..... you've got the picture.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

What it takes is political will. The problem is too many in the GOP want Mike Pence slick suit style 'civility' than to take decisive action.

The GOP has it in their hands to nearly wipe the Rats off the political map if they will just take a stand.

When students learn how to balance a checkbook or what taxes are or change a tore and sew a button they will be better prepared than they are now.

Too many RINO's like Murkowski, Collins, McConnell, etc... making it difficult to wipe the political map free of DEMS.

What I really love about @MayorofSeattle  is that she cares about the poor. She will make sure grocery stores stay open by simply “not allowing” them to close.
