Car rental tax is 18.5%, which is slightly less than 50%. If you rent it at the airport, you pay another 10% to 12% "airport concession fee." So...don't rent one at the airport.

I would rather review quickly this gentleman's "reason" for the tax. It appears rather obvious that he has based it as a "penalty tax" motivated by umpire performance.
As we all learned in basic polysci no tax that is established as a punishment is ever effective.
Every politician is looking for new revenue streams. Especially if those that are forced to pay them have no recourse at the ballot box.

See "rental car" and "hotel" taxes for GREAT examples. Try renting a car in Seattle once -- the taxes are 50% of the rate.
