You need to prove that there is intent behind the making of those laws. If you're arguing that the laws are made to be disadvantageous to poorer people because more poor people commit more crimes, then this is ad hoc ergo propter hoc. You even stated in your latest comment that rich people are at an advantage because they don't have to worry about their next paycheck. Nothing about that reasoning is related to law, which makes your earlier assertion out of place.

The constitution was made by rich slaveowners, and the average salary of a congressman is much higher than the average person, and people who are born rich agree more likely to be rich, so it's easy to deduce that the laws are made by rich people for rich people, and it's obviously working. I'm saying that poor people commit more crimes because it is the rich people who decide what the crimes are.

So you're more concerned about what the lawmakers were than the merits of the Constitution. Just because the Consitution was written by rich people doesn't mean it the laws were made for rich people. This is ad hominem and guilt by association. Overall, your reasoning is still not related to law and you've been given ample opportunity to make your case, but not once have you gone into the merits of the laws that you have problems with.
