Answer:

Because only the House can originate tax bills, and both chambers are needed to approve

Step-by-step explanation:

Because before Congress can raise taxes, the president must ask them to do so - Wrong, Congress dose not need the president permission to vote on something

Because he was preparing them to accept tax increases he planned to impose as president - Wrong, the President dose not need prepare congress for anything. Congress has the power under the U.S Constution to handle changeing and creating new laws.

Because without Congress voting to raise taxes, it would have been impossible to get the loans - Wrong, because the states individual could choose to raise taxes for their own states.

Therofre, I will go with

Because only the House can originate tax bills, and both chambers are needed to approve
