If a solution to a problem hurts more people than it helps then it's not the correct solution to the problem.

The bigger problem is that the powers that be want to constantly take away the shitty solutions the poor currently have access to without actually providing them better solutions. Then, after continuously shrinking the opportunities available to the poor while not really helping them, they blame the poor for failing to escape poverty.

Offer better solutions and watch payday loans et al wither on the vine instead of trying to justify taking yet more away from the already underprivileged.
