Of course it is, you are "stealing" money from snowless states and redistributing it to leaching blizzard states.This is going to sound partisan, but I still struggle with how you cons define Socialism. Our recently elected Republican Governor, Bob McDonnell yesterday announced that he has requested money from the Federal Government to assist Virginia with digging out of our recent snows. Virginia's annual budget for snow removal is around $79M. Before last weekend's additonal snow, Virginia had already spent $84M. So, by begging the Federal Government for money, is McDonnell a Socialist?
I don't think many people would classify snow plowing as welfare or income redistribution.
Feel free to urge your Congressman to not give federal tax dollars to states for their blizzard woes. Its not a big deal to me.
