Democrats are not the only politicians who raise taxes.

How about one of my favorite Republicans?

Ronald reagan, while California's governor signed into law the largest tax increase in the history of any state up till then. As president, Reagan “raised taxes in seven of his eight years in office,” including four times in just two years. GOP Senator Alan Simpson, who called Reagan “a dear friend,” told NPR, “Ronald Reagan raised taxes 11 times in his administration — I was there.” 

Reagan laid more tax on the wealthy:

According to a 1996 report of the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress, during Reagan's two terms, and through 1993, the top 10% of taxpayers paid an increased share of income taxes (not including payroll taxes) to the Federal government, while the lowest 50% of taxpayers paid a reduced share of income tax revenue.
