Of course genetics is a factor (and I think you're overplaying the rejection of that), but to what extent does it explain inequality?
Now I haven't personally looked into it in detail, but I'm guessing that, since it's obvious as you say, some studies on inequality have indeed considered genetics. And I think that if the answer was "Yeah, poor people were all just born too dumb to be rich" it would probably have been a pretty big story, and brought up often in these debates.
Since it hasn't, I'm guessing the answer is that it's more complicated than that. Do you have evidence to the contrary?
