Seattle’s Socialist Money Laughs at the Idea of the ‘Rich’ Leaving. But Who Will Pay the Bills?

Seattle’s new socialist mayor is in the process of being mugged by reality and her response is to say that it’s, like, no big deal. Tee hee!

In a recently surfaced video from an event at Seattle University, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson—the West Coast Zohran Mamdani—was asked if Washington State’s new taxes are a good thing for the tax climate in her city. The state recently passed a “millionaire tax” along with several other significant tax increases.

This means that Seattle now has the highest state and local tax burden for high-income earners in the country.

Wilson’s response was the equivalent of that meme of a dog in a burning building saying, “This is fine.”

“I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are, like, super overblown. And if—the ones that leave, like, bye,” Wilson said.
