You say my numbers are meaningless with absolutely no explanation of why.
Here is a quote from Snopes (https://www.snopes.com/aca-versus-ahca/):

"In June and July 2009, with Democrats in charge, the Senate health committee spent nearly 60 hours over 13 days marking up the bill that became the Affordable Care Act. That September and October, the Senate Finance Committee worked on the legislation for eight days — its longest markup in two decades. It considered more than 130 amendments (from Republicans*) and held 79 roll-call votes. The full Senate debated the health care bill for 25 straight days before passing it on Dec. 24, 2009." *editor's note

Does the Snopes information lead you to believe the Democrat's input on the Republican tax bill had as much input from Republicans on Obamacare? Really? And then you tell us that Politico rates something "half truths" but you rate it "mostly false". OK, then, you know better than Politico.

Clearly, Democratic input for the tax bill was zero.

You say most Americans are for a tax break. That's true, but most Americans, as shown by the poll numbers below, want tax breaks to be fair for all Americans, not just the wealthy. And they would like programs like Social Security and healthcare to continue in the future, not just until the deficit gets to a point where something needs to be cut. We know what Paul Ryan would like to cut.

Here some interesting poll numbers concerning American's support for this tax bill: in a Quinnipiac University survey, just 25 percent of voters approved of the plan. Surveys from ABC News/Washington Post, CNN, Morning Consult and YouGov put approval of the plan slightly higher, but all are still at 36 percent or lower. Those numbers are a heckuva lot lower than current support for Obamacare.
