I'm making my money the hard way. I'm not some loser relying on the government for a handout.

If you are making money from racing, you are making money from government handouts. Where do you think the purse money is coming from?

Who pays for stakes races?

I believe the owners and breeders do this.

The title of the thread is "harness racing". Where is the purse money coming from?  Also more handouts are diverted to that track to fool people like you!

From the money they make from overnight races which is mainly handouts. The whole industry is a house of cards depended on government handouts.

What would happen to the industry if the purses of the overnight races were cut by 85%?

       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.  If we held a referendum asking the people of each state to vote if the racing handout money should go to racing, roads and bridges, schools, or given to the slots players as higher payouts, what would be the results. I am eagerly awaiting your answer. It will show us all how out of touch with reality you are.

   Maybe  Social Security, unemployment, disability, food stamps, and government grants should instead go to roads and bridges and schools ?

I'd rather my money go to the hardworking folks in racing.
Schools already waste most of what I give them.
Slot playing is a losers game for Asians and oxygen tankers. 
Road and bridge builders get plenty.  Too many involved are shovel leaners.
Social security and unemployment payments aren't scrutinized well enough to give more.

Very childish comment but what i would have expected. So lets put it all on a referendum. How do you think the vote will go? I notice your were too busy being childish to answer that question.
