What money? The reason they have to sell their labour in the first place is because they don't have the capital to provide for themselves.

Do you need examples from people that were homeless or waiters and became billionaire to evidence that capacity and planning can be made without having millions prior to the business?

And considering the owner themselves get 5-30% of the capital invested on the company then the sum of the wages of all the employees would make it possible for they to collect together and start their business if they had the prowess?

The truth is people prefer to be tended to and decisions made to them, so they rather have a salary to count on than to provide to themselves and risk.

Do you know what survivor-ship bias is? Just seeing that a very small number of people have succeeded ignores all the failures. If you saw the number of homeless people that became billionaires as you say, how many others have tried and failed?
