Mr. Subliminal deconstructs Chicago Tribune Editorial 'This tax deal will make America more prosperous.'

Trib Editorial Board (TEB):
"You know Republicans want to get the deal done, and you know Trump will sign what Congress delivers."
Mr. Subliminal: 
"The Republican billionaire donor class can't wait to get their mitts on that $1.5 trillion in free stuff courtesy of the middle class."

TEB:
"Some tax deals go heavy on benefiting individuals. This legislation does some of that."
Mr. Subliminal:
"This tax bill does all of that...and most of it goes to the upper 5% of wealthyist Americans."

TEB:
"We believe this tax reform bill will strengthen the American economy and create wealth, so we support passage.
Mr. Subliminal: 

"We know this tax reform bill will give massive permanent tax cuts to the wealthy while leaving meager middle class tax cuts to some which will expire over the first decade....so we support its passage."

TEB:
"These massive tax reform packages don't come around often. They re too difficult."
.Mr. Subliminal:
"We've got the White House. We've got the Congress. We're coming for your money. We simply don't have enough."

TEB:
"The country is weighing an epochal change to the economy, making this “an incredibly significant time in our public life,” U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, one of the Republican tax reform leaders, tells us.
Mr. Subliminal:
"I'm Peter Roskam, and I'm proud to have led the rush to drown the critical needs of the country in the bathtub of endless greed."

TEB:
"Any vote against this bill is a vote to maintain America as it looks today."
Mr. Subliminal:
"The wealth disparity between the obscenely rich and the desperate wage slaves is simply not big enough."

TEB:
"Passing this tax reform should get the economy to steady 3 percent growth. At that rate, the country generates trillions of dollars of new economic activity, creates jobs and increases household income – money to be spent or saved."
Mr. Subliminal:

"Believe that Whopper and we've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn."

TEB:
"The country can't live on one side of the ledger. Eventually revenues and expenditures need to come into alignment."
Mr. Subliminal:
"Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare cuts....here we come!"
