I get your point but where do you draw the line? It seems pretty subjective. Who truly starts off with nothing?

No one; everyone starts off in a particular social context with a particular set of assets and opportunities and limitations.

There's no need to draw a line; there's no valid binary classification here.

The truly poor do.

Although even they have, at least, access to the public infrastructure of the nations that they live in. France, Kenya, China, Argentina, the US etc.

It's not much... but it's something.
