As you probably know, the president can not raise taxes- only Congress can do that.
However, Bush did approve a tax increase because the government needed more money in order to pay its bills, and Bush decided the tax increase was better for the country than the alternatives of cuttng needed programs or increasing the national debt by borrowing more money.
