Of course not. They got a chance and made it on their own. No silver spoons for them. And look what they contributed in their lifetimes.

Agreed being wealthy doesn't imply great parenting abilities. And being poor doesn't imply your going to abuse/neglect your child.
Side note: I don't know if I've ever met someone who hasn't been somewhat damaged by their childhood.
