Anonymous, you have built up your credit score based on the fact that you make more money than you spend. If you were a poor person this might not be posible. So yes, you may be smarter and at an advantage due to your job and economic status, the question is do you want to use your advantage to hold poor people down, or help disadvantaged people? When your rates go down due to your credit score, they go down at the cost of higher rates for poor people and often minorities. It actually tells a lot about you as a human being.

Poor people are a burden on social services, so do we raise taxes on the poor people? It just doesnt add up, unless you are trying to create a society where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
