I feel the same. The comic seems to imply that Einstein and everyone else are just born Einstein or not, when it actually has more to do with the environment people grow in than where they are born.

Access to education is an important issue of course, but the real problem is not that it makes existing natural born Einsteins carry firewood, but that it stops a large number of children from having a chance of becoming future Einsteins and even worse, from not having to carry firewood for the rest of their lives.

The comic implies that a lack of access to educational opportunities combined with the requirement to do menial tasks is keeping them from reaching their potential.
