How can a socialist justify buying a lottery ticket when the lottery takes from the many and gives to the few (The mirror opposite of socialism).
As 90-odd per-cent of people have bought NL tickets, can we presume that socialism is all but dead in this society?

Serious questions deserve serious answers.

Puerto Rico has one of the most dynamic economies in the Caribbean region. Plantation sugar production dominated Puerto Rico's economy until the 1940s. Industry has surpassed agriculture as the primary sector of economic activity and income. Encouraged by duty free access to the U.S. and by tax incentives, U.S. firms have invested heavily in Puerto Rico since the 1950s (U.S. minimum wage laws apply). As a result, Puerto Rico's export and import has prospered, nearly doubled between fiscal years 1987 and 1997.

Recently the economy has suffered budget cuts from U.S. The Puerto Rican economy has depended heavily on the tax incentives given to U.S. mainland companies and on federal transfers. In 1993, President Clinton aimed to cut the Section 936 tax exemption for U.S. companies and introduced legislation to Congress to replace it with a more modest tax credit linked to wages paid by those companies in Puerto Rico rather than to profits.

I was given this question for a position paper in Social.
I have lots of information but I'm not sure how to organize it in 3 arguments.
Does anyone have any ideas, or know any advantages, other than the obvious ones (ex: you get the best of both private and public enterprise)

towards the effect of global warming, we are also being forced to except 140m high frankly pointless windmills, in almost any part of the country in areas that any citizen living there would be turned down for building an extension on their house on the grounds that it would not be in keeping with the local environment. Have I missed a point some where?
