Why are you focusing on how much money they "start with" and nothing else? IQ is far more meaningful and everyone doesn't have the same IQ. Give 100 people the same amount of money and no two will have the same amount after any given amount of time.

The claim that being born into wealth is the only important factor is bullshit.

No matter how skilled you are, you can't make money from those skills unless you have the capital to make it happen. A lot of the time you can obtain it through working for someone else, or through investments, but a lot of the time it's not possible — especially for certain industries with large start-up costs.

It's not that I believe everyone should start a business — quite the opposite actually: Capitalism's requirement that every start a business in order to live comfortably doesn't make economical sense. We need Workers, as well as business-owners — thus should incentivize maintaining these classes.

There's a huge difference between saying something is the only factor and the most important factor.

Do I even have to say it? Of course I do: bullshit. Aside from the fact that you could get a loan, or sell your skills outright to a buisness (ie get a job) the costs of starting a small buisness are not what is stopping most people from opening a buisness. That is simply a lie.

Give any man 100k and he wont open a buisness that was otherwise impossible for him for lack of money 99.9% of people would spend that money and have nothing to show for it within a few years.

Of the .1% who would start a buisness 99% will start one without that donation. The remaining .o1% do not justify destroying a world that gets the .1% to invent and start businesses by rewarding them for it.

If you would've read my original comment — which it seems you have not — I specifically stated that those are the only ways to obtain capital.

Which is why we need to maintain the class system instead of forcing everyone to start a business in order to live comfortably.

You literally just pulled these numbers out of your ass.
