Of the 12 House Republicans who crossed party lines to vote 'no' in Tuesday's congressional tax showdown, all but one hail from deep blue regions of the country where new deduction cutoffs for state and local taxes could leave voters smarting.

Speaker Paul Ryan, not surprisingly, failed to rally any Democrats to his banner. And with the exception of a North Carolina member who has a history of opposing President Donald Trump, the GOP renegades all hailed from California, New Jersey and New York.

The final tax plan limits federal deductions to a total of $10,000 for income, property and sales taxes paid at the state and local level.

More than half the total savings from the current deduction goes to taxpayers in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Voters in those states will stand to lose the most from the change.

Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a landmark tax bill on Tuesday – and will have to re-vote on Wednesday – but the first go-round attracted 12 GOP defectors

President Donald Trump was unable to marshal the support of any Democrats for his bill

(L-R) New York Rep. Peter King, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik and New Jersey Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen were among a dozen Republicans who voted 'no' on the GOP tax plan; most of those 12 objected to the limited deductibility of state and local taxes in the future

The IRS says that for the 2015 tax year, the average U.S. taxpayer deducted about $3,600 from their gross income to account for state and local taxes.

In New York's 12th congressional district, on Manhattan's tony east side, the average was more than $31,000.

In California's 18th district on the pricey San Francisco Bay, it was over $26,000.

New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin, one of the dozen holdouts, said in November that an earlier plan to eliminate the deduction entirely was 'a geographic redistribution of wealth, picking winners and losers.'

'I don't want my home state to be a loser, and that really shouldn't come as any surprise,' he said then.

The change will only affect the 30 percent of tax filers who itemize their annual returns – largely middle- and upper-middle-class earners.

For the rest of Americans, including low-income families that take the standard deduction instead, the change will have no impact at all.

Eliminating the SALT deduction could have raised as much as $1.3 trillion for the U.S. Treasury over the next decade. Limiting it to $10,000 per tax filer will free up much less money.

The vote approved sweeping, debt-financed tax legislation and sent the bill to the Senate, where lawmakers were due to take up the package later in the evening.

The biggest overhaul of the U.S. tax system in more than 30 years could be signed into law by President Donald Trump as soon as Wednesday, if both chambers of Congress approve it.

With Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin watching from the gallery, the House passed the bill by a vote of 227-203, overcoming united opposition from Democrats.

(L-R) California Rep. Darrell Issa, California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and New Jersey Rep. Frank LoBiondo were also among the renegade Republicans who voted with the Democrats because they come from high-tax states whose voters could be big losers in the new tax system

Passage was all but certain in the Republican-controlled Senate as well.

But because of an arcane parliamentary Senate rule, the House will have to vote a second time on the historic measure.

THE TRUMP TAX BRACKETS Single filers $0 to $9,525 – 10% $9,525 to $38,700 – 12% $38,700 to $82,500 – 22% $82,500 to $157,500 – 24% $157,500 to $200,000 – 32% $200,000 to $500,000 – 35% $500,000 and up – 37% Married couples who file jointly $0 to $19,050 – 10% $19,050 to $77,400 – 12% $77,400 to $165,000 – 22% $165,000 to $315,000 – 24% $315,000 to $400,000 – 32% $400,000 to $600,000 – 35% $600,000 and up – 37% Advertisement

The bill passed by the House includes three small provisions that would violate the 'Byrd rule,' a Senate quirk that requires a 60-vote majority to pass fiscal bills that would increase the federal deficit beyond a ten-year term.

Since House and Senate conference committee members didn't foresee the problem, the minor clauses will have to be stripped out of the bill for the Senate vote, and the House will have its do-over on Wednesday.

The GOP's plan includes steep tax cuts for corporations and wealthy taxpayers, as well as temporary tax cuts for some individuals and families. It repeals a section of the Obamacare health system and allows oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, just two of many narrow changes added to the bill to secure sufficient to win its passage.

Middle-income households would see an average tax cut of $900 next year, while the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans would see an average cut of $51,000, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a think tank in Washington.

Republicans insist the package will boost the economy and job growth. They also see the measure as key to retaining their majorities in the House and Senate in elections next November.

House Democrats all ran away from the tax bill; Trump failed to persuade any of them to come along, especially after he embarrassed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last month by staging an empty-chair White House photo-op after they refused to meet with him

'Today, we give the people of this country their money back. This is their money, after all,' House Speaker Paul Ryan said shortly before the vote.

Ryan was interrupted twice by protesters. 'You're lying!' one woman shouted.

Democrats say the bill will widen the income gap between rich and poor Americans, while adding $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years to the mounting $20 trillion U.S. national debt.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi called the bill a 'Frankenstein monster' riddled with carve-outs and loopholes that falls far short of the Republican promise of simplifying the tax code.

'This monster will come back to haunt them,' she said on the House floor.

The plan includes a steep tax cut for businesses and temporary tax cuts for individuals. Middle-income households would see an average tax cut of $900 next year, while the wealthiest 1 percent would see an average cut of $51,000, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

Some 52 percent of adults oppose the tax plan, while 27 percent support it, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.

Opposition to a change in the way federal law treats deductions for state and local taxes (SALT) drove California, New Jersey and New York Republicans to buck their party on Tuesday

The end-of-year sprint represents a remarkable recovery of Republican fortunes since the middle of this year, when the party's drive to dismantle former Democratic President Barack Obama's Obamacare healthcare law crumbled in the Senate and prospects for a tax overhaul seemed doomed by party infighting.

Republicans control the 100-seat Senate by only a 52-48 margin and can afford to lose support from no more than two party lawmakers. Republican Senator Jeff Flake was still undecided on Tuesday. Senator John McCain, who has brain cancer, was spending time with family in Arizona.

Vice President Mike Pence took the precaution of rescheduling a trip to Egypt and Israel for January so he would be on hand this week in case his tie-breaking voting power is needed to ensure Senate passage of the bill.
