Poor people cause much, much, much more work to law enforcement and the judicial system than rich people.

You can easily be poor without a working government, being rich without a working police and judicial system is much harder.
Yeah, because white collar crimes do not exist and do not cost billions of dolars. Sorry for being sarcastic but seriously...
That too is benefitting rich people more than poor.
Rich people can hire private security. Poor people can't. In terms of raw numbers, law enforcement's job is to protect poor people from other poor people.
