Hoyer Statement on Middle Class Tax Cuts

WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement regarding an extension of middle class tax cuts:

“The House will vote on an extension of middle class tax cuts before they expire. Democrats are firmly committed to continuing tax cuts for middle class families on income up to $250,000. We cannot afford to add $700 billion to the deficit to benefit the wealthiest Americans with almost no economic benefit as Republicans want to do.”
