I will say this about Pennsylvania's bass-ackwards "Corbett Hood," who gives to the rich: It takes a lot of political skill to hit the poorest people with his bow and arrow every single time. So far, Corbett's policies have embodied a kind of a winner-take-all society that is brazen in its belief that people not only at the top but in the middle simply won't care about the overt screwing-over of the poor on the bottom. Apparently there's some talk in Harrisburg that even Tom Corbett knows that the pendulum has swung too far, that he will labor to find a few extra dollars for Philly and the other struggling districts. I hope that's true, but when you've been driving Pennsylvania's poor off a cliff at 85 mph, it's not easy to shift into reverse.
