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.”

Fine. F*** you, Seattle.

Hochel said the same thing.  But now she is begging for them to come back.

Commies never learn.

Like, wow... Speaks like a moron.

That comes naturally to morons!

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.

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.

Another Commie about to learn that delusional conceit does not overrule basic math.

Feelings over critical thought never works in the physical world. The road to ruin.

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.

The people of NYC and Seattle deserve the total screwing they will receive from these communists!

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.

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.

Can I add civics and home ec?
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.
