Most people who can get into a career they truly enjoy and for which they have some kind of aptitude will make some money. don't you think?

You're making a bunch of straw men arguments and knocking them down, which is irrelevant. The thesis NEVER was that the poorer someone is the stupider they are or that if you arrange people by income that is also an index of intelligence. Of course, those are ridiculous arguments and easy to argue against. Try arguing against the actual thesis.
You are truly one of the most sheltered (and angry) sounding people on this board. The world is bigger than your little circle of friends.

I'll give you a hint, most poor people don't live in your town - or even your country.

Do some research.
