Answer:

George Bush

Step-by-step explanation:

"Read My Lips: No New Taxes!"

At the 1988 Republican National Convention, George H.W. Bush adamantly spoke these words to the American public. In an effort to reduce the Federal deficit, the Democratic-controlled Congress pushed hard for tax increases. Eventually, President Bush gave in to their demands and raised taxes. The declaration came back to haunt him during the 1992 presidential election as his opponent, Bill Clinton, made reference to it a number of times.

I hope this helps!! :)
