Taxes have been raised in one form or another by most presidents in the Oval Office. Remember, they go up and never down.

Only Congress can raise taxes. The US President can request a tax increase, or approve one, but only the legislature can vote to increase taxes. These increases have occurred under every President except William Henry Harrison, who died 3 weeks after his inauguration.
