Socialist mayor’s blunt 1-word message to fleeing millionaires sparks outrage - "BYE"

 Good luck Seattle as the socialist bowl swirls... -- In the immortal words of Forest Gump - "Stupid is as stupid does" -- -Katie Wilson, Seattle’s new self-proclaimed socialist mayor, sparked a social media firestorm after she gave her take on reports that millionaires are fleeing Washington state due to taxes and various far-left policies.  ---  While speaking at a forum at Seattle University earlier this month, the new Democratic mayor said, "I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown." "And the ones that leave, like, bye," she continued, waving her hand and laughing. Though the line drew laughs and applause from those in the auditorium, it did not go over as well online, as conservatives quickly blasted the new Seattle mayor.  --- Popular conservative account "End Wokeness" also posted on X, writing, "Mayor Wilson seems to welcome the idea of a wealth exodus from Seattle. This is the FA part. FO coming soon."  --- "What do socialists think happens when the most productive, highest revenue driving members of their tax base leave their jurisdictions?" Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts posted on X.  ---- Discovery Institute Senior Journalism Fellow Jonathan Chose posted on X, "Seattle, you voted for this ---- "This clip will live in infamy," the Washington State Republican Party posted on X. "@MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson is not only unfit to be mayor, she lacks grace and gratitude. Perhaps, she's the one who should leave #Seattle."  --- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/socialist-mayors-blunt-1-word-message-fleeing-millionaires-sparks-outrage-doomed

Did a mayor start advocating for a societal structure with a centralized command based economy where the government owns and controls the means of production? I must have missed that. 

 

I don't like the Seattle mayor I think she is a fool. But I have not heard her advocate for the above. 

 

 

Bitch bitch bitch about a city a thousand miles away.

 

Are you getting tired of masturbating to Trump videos? Is that why you're rummaging around in the rectum of Fox Nooze?

I don't "advocate" anything that's done in Seattle. It's not my concern. I don't live there. I also don't bitch bitch bitch like you do about what happens in a city where I don't live.

 

You LUVVVV to paste socialism SOCIALISM SOOOOOCIALISM onto everything. That's because, I guess, THEM COMMIES had "socialist" in their country's name. There's nothing wrong with socialism. We have many elements of it in our own government.

 

But what happened in Seattle that you're bitch bitch bitching about? That had nothing to do with socialism. Kind of stupid for you to say so.

 

I bet you don't even know what socialism IS!

She is a Democrat Socialist.

 

Below is Democrat Socialism; so she believes in the government owning and controlling the means of production

 

democratic socialists are committed to the systemic transformation of the economy from capitalism to socialism,while social democrats use capitalism to create a strong welfare state, leaving many businesses under private ownership. However, many democratic socialists also advocate for state regulations and welfare programs in order to reduce the perceived harms of capitalism and slowly transform the economic system.

How does she conform to your description? What is your evidence that she is attempting a "systematic transformation" of Seattle's economy to SOOOOOCIALISM?

 

Or are you just talking out of your ass again?

Can't answer my question, coward? You gave a description. I challenge you to prove how she conforms to that description.

 

You can't, can you?
