My dad was no where around. If he helped id be 10x more successful.

This is a rather stupid argument imo.

Common sense gives the correct answer.

Family backing ie money and help increases chache of successfully starting up.
no, common sense tells you that the family didn't ALWAYS have money and that at some point, these parent's ancestors or the parents themselves started with nothing and succeeded. So actually, ALL successful families had someone start with nothing and then provide a leg up for their offspring.
and you never hear about the rich kids who squandered all of their money and disappeared.
