Bill Krupp: GOP selecting winners, losers

Founded on principle, Republicans state they oppose many federal government giveaway programs based on their loathing of redistribution of wealth. Is that not what Sen. Harry Brown is proposing? Redistribution of the urban tax proceeds to the rural counties.

As well, aren’t Republicans opposed to the government selecting winners and losers? I guess when Republicans are the winners and the recipients of the redistributed wealth. That’s just peachy.
