It's illigal to set different prices for different groups, but on items such as cars - what do you think the dealer is realy saying when he says:
"So what do you do for a living?"
"What car are you currently driving?"
or even the more direct question:
"What are you looking to spend?"
A car dealer will pick a price depending on how you answer these questions.
It's not illigal, it's just charging ppl the maximum of what they're willing to pay for an item. (Kind of like an auction)

I buy a new car every 2-3 years and have been for 20+ years and I've NEVER been asked any of those questions!
Of course, I also don't wait until I'm at the dealer to settle on the price of a car, lol!
Clicks - you'll love this - it's an actual letter to the editor in Atlanta's paper yesterday:
"Raise the Georgia state income tax by 1 percent for those of us with decent incomes and dedicate this money to PeachCare, Medicaid and state public schools. It is immoral for those of us who are comfortably off to sit by idly while our vulnerable young people suffer budget cuts that can only increase suffering among them."
Unfreakingbelievable.
