A Pittsburgh Parking Tax?

Not sports related but I found this article about a proposal in Pittsburgh to tax the tuition of college students in the city funny. The amusing thing is the quote from the alleged college student who objects to the proposed tax because of all the other taxes students already pay, which he explains as "'we rent apartments so we pay taxes on that, we have cars here, which provide parking taxes,'" said David Gau, an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh."

Apartment tax? Parking tax? What the hell is this kid talking about? Definitely not a finance major.
