raise taxes
c.
not raise taxes
b.
dismantle the military
d.
reform social security

The correct answer is C. During the 1988 presidential campaign the Republican nominee George Bush made a bold pledge to not raise taxes.

Explanation:

In the 1988 presidential election, Bush launched a successful campaign to succeed Reagan as president, defeating his Democratic opponent, Michael Dukakis. International politics was one of the main pillars during the Bush presidency; military operations were carried out in Panama and in the Persian Gulf while the world was changing; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later. Domestically, Bush failed to fulfill one of his promises, specifically, not to create new types of taxes and after a fight with Congress, he signed an increase in taxes that Congress finally approved.
