Yesterday Pacer2 said Social Security was a handout because if you live long enough you will have received alot more in benefits than you paid in.

In a given year, racing gets more money in handouts in one month than it contributes in an entire year. Almost 90% of the purses come from government handouts.

While Canada is generally considered safe compared to many other countries, it still has its share of crime. Violent crime rates have been on the rise in recent years, particularly in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Drug-related crimes are also a concern, with the opioid crisis taking a toll on communities across the country.

Show us some figures to back up your claim of billions or did you just make that up?

The only place those figures exist is in his head. In PA, over 85% of the purses come from handouts not handle. It is the same in most other states. How would the people who  own horses do if a $10,000 was $1,500?  That is the real magnitude of the situation.

    You're too dumb to realize that racetracks provide huge support to casinos. Or that the horse racing industry provides billions of dollars to the states.

You are too dumb to learn the facts. First, casinos lose money on the race tracks. Pass decoupling and the tracks are gone. Second, the government gives BILLIONS in handouts to the racing industry. Take that same money and use it to reduce tax or spend it on schools or infrastructure and you get a bigger return AND the people actually want those things. It is amazing how you can be so in the dark.

IMO C.P. is not only a good horseman but his outgoing personality is great for the business
