Look up “Karen” in the dictionary…
Seattle deserves Katie Wilson… Katies Wilson deserves Seattle.
If you haven’t been keeping up on election in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle’s new mayor-elect is socialist Katie Wilson.
When I say this politician and this city deserve each other, that’s no joke.
Bloomberg.com just reported a handful of months back that those with personal wealth are fleeing just as fast as they can. Of course, the lefties seem to believe they can tax their way to a Workers’ Paradise;
… a 7% capital gains tax passed in 2021, would include a new 5% payroll tax on large employers, and a new “financial intangibles” tax on wealthy individuals.
Of course, the wealth creators want to haul ass. But wait, there’s more.
The everything nerdlinger website, GeekWire.com also recently noted;
Speaking at GeekWire’s Microsoft@50 event Thursday at Town Hall in Seattle, [Microsoft President Brad] Smith said the [new tax] proposal would increase prices for consumers, reduce jobs, and hurt the tech industry.
“I have, frankly, never been more worried about the future of the tech sector in Washington state as I am today, in part because of the proposal,” Smith said.
Now we come to the 43-year-old Mayor-elect Wilson;
- She’s never held a job long enough to be classified as a career.
- She dropped out of Oxford University six-weeks before graduation (just me, but dropping out that soon before graduation is because one knows they’re going to be failed out of school, so quietly quit to save face).
- Mommy and daddy paid for all those wasted years at Oxford.
- Mommy and daddy still give her money to pay for childcare (is she and her “activist husband” allergic to work?).
But wait… there’s more.
While campaigning, Wilson attacked the Kroger grocery chain for having the audacity to close stores in Seattle for either (or both) being unprofitable or being hit repeatedly by crime.
As reported by the Daily Caller (highlights mine);
Democratic Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson declared that she will not allow private grocery stores to close in a resurfaced video from September.
“Access to affordable, healthy food is a basic right. We cannot allow giant grocery chains to stomp all over our communities, close stores that will leave behind food deserts,” Wilson said.
The then-mayoral candidate called on corporations to give a 90-day notice for mass layoffs and a fair severance package to those who had been laid off.
Ummm… last time I checked, any given city mayor doesn’t have that kind of authority or control over private companies.
That is unless the city in question has People’s Republic is part of the official name of that particular nation.
