Well, you made me think I may have been talking out of my ass.

This statement is very close to being empty or untrue.
There is no "the difference" and I think balancing it on the word innate keeps its meaning. But there are still very certainly poor people in India/Mexico/China who would do very well in America and poor people in those same countries who would do very poorly. I think it may have to do with how a person could look around to his poor family and neighbors and be motivated to want more whereas the same person could look to his declining middle classed friends and family and not be motivated to work harder than the previous generation for seemingly less.
I would amend it to say: Of the many differences between rich people and poor people, very few to almost none are innate, and many relate to matters of circumstance.
