So find me a candidate who will promise to lower taxes and keep that

Or is it your contention that the majority in the US wants higher
taxes?

They are going to get them. The current Bush has run us in debt for an
unnecessary war to the point where our grandchildren's grandchildren
will still be paying the costs (even assuming we can get out within a
reasonable period, which probably isn't the case). All done without a
tax increase, and, in fact, with a tax cut for those making over 100K.

Whoever gets elected next is going to have to raise taxes, and quite
probably by a considerable amount.

Look for it.
