Biden indicated he would sign a bill to
increase the passenger facility charge at airports
to pay for infrastructure maintenance, and
touted both light rail and high-speed rail as
ways to get cars off the highways.
"That (fuel tax) is a super politically
sensitive thing," Steyer said. "What we are
definitely going to have to do is raise taxes, and
the question is whether it will be on consumers
or businesses. My goal in this is not to do a
regressive consumer tax but to undo the tax
giveaways of the last 40 years. I have a plan for
a wealth tax-to treat investment income on

Simply raising the fuel tax had no support
from the candidates, who noted objections from
both the voting public and their congressional
representatives. However, they did have alternative
infrastructure funding ideas.
"We're not going to be able to raise the gas tax,"
Biden said. "We might be able to index it down the
line. I don't think we are going to be able to raise
the gas tax from what it is now to what it would be
if we raise it for inflation."
Biden, whose campaign platform includes a $1.3
