State of Ill. is flat ass broke. A $20.00 race ticket will cost you one more dollar which is not the end of the world, but I understand your point as to when do taxes stop.

alot of people think if you raise taxes you bring more money into the state. no it has the opposite affect. I will not support a tax and spend state like Illinois!

I'm assuming (I don't really know) that this is something that is already happening everywhere. Don't all of these tracks/promoters have to pay some kind of tax on what they take in on ticket sales?

Once again, this is simply a basic assumption and I don't know what the laws might be in any specific area. However, you can rest assured that anywhere money is being made that the government on all levels will have their hands in the cookie jar no matter if they have a D or an R after their name.
