What would happen to the country if Social Security, unemployment, disability, food stamps, and government grants were cut by 85%?
People care about those things. 95% of the people could care less about racing and a sizable number would want racing to be banned even without the handouts.

I am eagerly awaiting your answer. It will show us all how out of touch with reality you are.
