>I've earned it mainly from salaried employment and personal investments
If investment income is a relevant part of your income stream, then congratulations - you are among the wealthiest and most financially literate of all americans.
You are now someone who speaks from a position of wealth because of this.
>opportunity costs you've described apply equally well to someone who came from wealth
Oh really?
Because when youre poor and your parents live in a one bedroom apartment and cant afford food for an extra person, maybe youve even been sending them money because they have problems keeping up with their bills and being able to eat everyday.
Thats the same as a stanford grad, whose parents live nearby in a 4 bedroom plus house, can easily afford to send their children money when they need it, let alone allowing them to move back home with free room and board at any time.
If you honestly dont see a difference, from the perspective of starting a business, between these two people, then we have nothing further to discuss.
> or that only people from wealth can start a business.
I have yet to see the article or a single commenter make this claim.
