Bush on Democrats: 'They will raise your taxes'

TAMPA, Fla., Sept 21 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush charged on Thursday that Democrats would raise taxes if put in control of the U.S. Congress, turning to a familiar campaign theme as he seeks to stave off Republican losses in November.

"If they get control of the House of Representatives, they'll raise your taxes. It'll hurt our economy. And that's why we're not going to let them get control of the House of Representatives," Bush said.

Bush warned Democrats will say they have to raise taxes to balance the budget. "They will raise your taxes and figure out new ways to spend your money," he said. "The best way to balance the budget is to keep pro-growth policies in place."

One of those attending was Katherine Harris, a Republican running for Senate, whose relationship with the Bushes cooled after the White House and Republican Senate campaign committee tried to dissuade her from running in favor of a stronger candidate. Bush acknowledged her presence in his remarks.
