Ok, well let's think this through then.
Most people who are wealthy (not millionaires and such, but the standard wealthy) are highly paid professionals.
To become a highly paid professional, you need to go through a lot of schooling.
To go through a lot of schooling, you need a high IQ.
Hence there's a causal link between high IQ and wealth accrual.

Picrel shows you how kids of similar (poor) backgrounds are more likely to stop being poor if they are smart.

On a sidenote, not to poison the well, but I genuinely don't know how you can hold a position this retarded. Being smarter (i.e. higher IQ) is going to influence your ability to become wealthy, I just don't know how you can deny this. You might suggest that there's also reverse causality, but thats another matter, your statement is that there is no causality at all.
