I agree with everything you've said and I'm really sorry if it seemed that I was implying we are all born with equal abilities. I agree that intelligence is partly hereditary, immutable and important, the same way that is the willingness to take risks.

If there is an equality of access to resources (not only learning) the degree of income inequality will eventually be balanced. The problem, again, is that there is an increasing portion of society that is born intelligent but never able to develop it, put it in practice and finally contribute to the bigger wealth pie.

Income and wealth inequality will and should persist.
