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.

Oh Seattle voters, you poor dumb bastards…

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.)

Dividing by 800,000 residents, that’s about $10,625 per person — adult and child… https://t.co/NGUHXZdKL2
