2. Reducing the impact of deductions on upper class folks (not a huge number of people have mortgages over $750k) rather than just the truly wealthy is a "broadening the base" improvement that makes the tax code more fair and progressive (until you hit the truly rich).
I think they owed it to us to sell the bill on its merits, not on the merits of an alternative bill that is 180° different (fewer brackets, radically fewer deductions, broadening the base) that they didn't propose at all.

In a big sense, it's very hard to argue against the bill because most of the arguments for it are not actually arguments for the actual things the bill is doing. And saying that out loud doesn't make for a very polite debate. But it has to be said.
