I don't think people can really understand how risk-averse poverty can make a person. When you don't have a safety net or you've always had to struggle to get by it's very hard to take chances with money. Of course, there are exceptions but given poor vs rich, I would bet that entrepreneurs are more likely to appear in the population that never had to struggle to get by.
