All you clowns talk about is why aren't they "giving" you more. You actually got that part right. Nothing earned. You even say the people who saved racetracks are only driven by money, yet you don't hesitate to take the welfare and drink the Kool-Aid. Only time any of you talk is here because you are scared shitless knowing what will happen if you get caught. They yank your free ride. When you walk in most paddocks it's no different than walking into a social services office. Same thing, prove me wrong.
Good evening ladies and gentleman, welcome to Harness Racing in Florida!
Replace “harness racing jobs” with “auto sector jobs” and you’ll get the same thing. Governments are sometimes forced to subsidize many industries to keep them afloat… nothing new here other than someone with a vendetta.
Harness racing provides underskilled laboor with a living wage through these subsidies, as it does the auto sector. Harness racing provides indirectly spinoffs throughout the community through feed sales, equipment sales, etc. many of the people involved would otherwise be unemployable unfortunately, as often would those in the other subsidized industries. Unfortunately, the outputs are not always equally useful in society. Nevertheless, it provides sustenance, and a sense of purpose to those involved. Society is full of government measures to support the populace. Picking on those involved reveals your lack of humanity. Consider it welfare or otherwise, but it does serve its purpose.
Just curious, do you consider every dollar that comes into a track's financials (regardless of where it shows up, what line item, etc.)---that doesn't come from the track's operating "revenue---as some type of subsidy?
