One of major problems of today's legal system

I have been studying laws in a certain area for a reason recently, and, as I study laws, I cannot help but realize one of major problems of today's legal system. The legal system is structured so that it is always highly recommended that you hire an attorney no matter what personal legal work you do for yourself and no matter what legal work you do for your small business. Laws in US are heavily influenced by English common laws. The name "common laws" implies that laws apply to anyone equally AND they are not something that you need to pay money for; laws should not a commodity. Those of you who have to or had to do any legal work realize that you want to hire a good attorney if you can afford. If your budget allows, you would probably want to pay a substantial amount of money to the attorney. Why is that? Because that would enable you to use laws for your benefit. I personally enjoy studying laws, and I believe that many of you enjoy, too. However, even then, the same principle applies. The more money you spend, the more useful laws become to you. This is one of major problems of today's legal system.
