I see it discussed constantly all over the internet. Also it's not entirely true; there's a bunch of examples where people did make it big.
All too often this position boils down to "Capitalism bad" which then just attracts the "Communism bad" opposition and ends in a pointless shitshow buzzword exchange.

People are not saying it's impossible for poor to start a company and make it big (in which case those would be counter-examples), they say it's many times harder. The discrimination lies in the extra difficulty. As someone said, the rich kids starting a startup get to play startup in "easy mode" (which also doesn't mean they'll succeed easily in the market -- just that devoting time to and trying to succeed is far more easy and less rick prone for them).
