Seattle mayor-elect Katie Wilson's socialist wish list: "I want everyone in this great city of ours to have a roof over their head. I want universal child care, free K-8 summer care ... I want social housing, I want much more land & wealth to be stewarded by communities instead… pic.twitter.com/MgLUMnwjNJ

What do we notice? Hint: It's two words and the first one is "I".

Sure, Wilson wants justice, fairness, happiness and all the good things. And yes, these are all noble things to want, but the expectations are the product of a mind that stopped developing after the third grade. Socialism, especially from the privileged classes, often does not jibe with reality.

This reminds us of the immortal words of P. J. O'Rourke.
H/t to @JonahDispatch for introducing me to this P. J. O’Rourke quote. Except that now both the Democrats & the Republicans are behaving like Santa Claus pic.twitter.com/P7h3zIxROC

This woman is literally going to drive businesses out of Seattle.

Cue the "we don't want greedy corporations in Seattle" takes.
Right? She sounds like she was running for high school class president. “I promise to make classes shorter and free pizza every Friday!”

All of this leads us to an important question:

Her parents pay most of her bills and her longest job history was volunteering for a non profit to lower public transportation fees... then they made her a paid position. She begs for money. Thats her profession. Seattle is screwed and they deserve it

Also, Plato was absolutely right about democracy. https://t.co/nMo9RP6WA1
If you're curious, you can read about Plato's take here. We think Gardner's take was a bit tongue-in-cheek.
Seattle's current budget, without doing any of this, is about $8.5 billion per year. (That includes Seattle City Light, which is part of the city budget; but it's still something people pay for.)

I’m not sure how we lost the vision from Democratic leaders like JFK who said “ask not what your country can do for you, but you can do for your country”.
Now it’s: “how much… https://t.co/fCNb93vok0
