 Before someone elects you the new head of the NTRA or some editor gives you a column at Bloodhorse -- two things:
#1: This doesn't have anything to do with national politics. 
#2: The welfare system, as you call it, would generate much more revenue by taxing gamblers at a lower rate, which allows them to bet more money.  This law not only badly hurts horse racing, but it also hurts what you call 'the welfare system'
