Read these lines from the Roosevelt excerpt: A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation. If the Congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause. Based on the context, what does Roosevelt say makes people patriotic? A. Willingness to be honest B. Willingness to defend the country C. Willingness to pay taxes D. Willingness to uphold principles
