First, in this hyper capitalistic society, isn’t everything bad for the poor, from the legal system to democracy itself. For example you can argue the poor lacks the time and resource to properly understand the policy, hence more likely to be misled by the candidate.
And in this specific cases, the public can pay for it if the person is poor enough, like declaring bankrupt. I am not so familiar with the procedure and loopholes related to bankrupt, so feel free to educate me on that.
