Washington, DC – Jim Manley, spokesman for Nevada Senator Harry Reid, released the following statement today regarding Democrats' plans to extend tax cuts for middle-class Americans by the end of the year:

"Democrats believe we must permanently extend tax cuts for the middle class before they expire at the end of the year, and we will.  Unfortunately, to this point we have received no cooperation from Republicans to do so. Democrats will not allow families in Nevada and across the country to suffer or be held hostage by Republicans who would rather give tax giveaways to millionaires and corporations that ship jobs overseas.  We will come back in November and stay in session as long as it takes to get this done."
