Sorry, but this is just total nonsense.

Life is much more difficult in most places in the world than it is in the US. We have had more success with entrepreneurship because of a culmination of specific things, not a generalized "difficulty of life", which empirically does not exist.

It's also more common for successful entrepreneurs to have grown up without financial distress.

Sorry to shatter your dreams, but your theory is very silly.
