Default Toilet maintenance issue (sorry!)

I know that I'm going to take some heat for this so I'm offering apologies
in advance for my misstep.

Thanks to the many posts here I have successfully cleared up all of my
toilet issues (don't ask how many) except one. It may just be a crappy
crapper but this thing ejects at least one wad of paper back into the bowl
with each flush. It seems like the jet at the bottom isn't pushing enough
to force the paper out of its whirlpool-like dance at the bottom of the bowl
to force it past the trap. I thought that I'd do the muriatic acid
'cleanse' by pouring it down the fill tube in the tank but it all just seems
to all come out of the first couple of hole under the rim.

OK, this is where the beating begins. What am I doing wrong here.
Apologies for being dense, folks.
