Probably because it would destroy the lives of countless people, least of all horsemen who you feel are all low lifes and crooks! Farmers, farriers, local merchants, mutual clerks, track employees, vets and countless more! Understand that just the taxes paid by lottery winners far exceeds the entire budget of the harness industry and its all a drop in the bucket to the bureaucratic mess that we live in! So go suck on a big one you freakin moron!
It would win an election if a politician recommended redirecting subsidies to a more worthwhile cause (one idea would be to reduce state college cost). Why hasn’t this been done this yet?
New York State already reduced SUNY for in state kids
While we are at it lets give more tax payer money to support illegals. Let's give free college to every kid. Let's give every person in the US a 15 dollar a hour job. No matter the jib. These are all things Democrat socialist want to just give away.
They just completed an experiment such as give everyone money in Sweden. For about 2 years, the Swedish government gave every unemployed person a special stipend of a few hundred a month for the time they were unemployed. The goal was to reduce unemployment by giving people more wearwithall to prepare for a new job. To pay for better clothing, a more intense job search, moving expenses, vocational training, special skills training, networking... They stopped the program as it was a complete failure as almost everyone extended their periods of unemployment. The jobs they did get were no different than the jobs the others secured before the program. The time tested notion: Necessity is the mother of invention is as true today then was at anytime.
