71. The poor also eventually end up paying more for repairs
because by the time they can get the $$ together to pay for the initial repair, the problem has accelerated into a major repair...and don't forget penalties and late fees for paying bills late (bills that are usually higher than the rich would have paid because of different interest rates)...the rich getting preferred interest rates just sucks..interest should be the same for everyone, offer other incentives to use the service...


I remember once a while ago I didn't have the money to repair my car...but I could get a car loan...so guess what I ended up having to do? Yep, buy the car with 5 years worth of payments...when if I could have gotten a loan to fix the car it probably would have been paid off in 6 months or a year...
