Proverbs 22

Man, this chapter is full of good stuff. One piece that sticks out...

16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

As I consider making loans to peeps on prosper.com, I wonder if it is moral to earn 35% off somebody. Is Solly warning us against taking advantage of the unfortunate poor or the foolish poor? Is there a difference?
