You commented this, presumably, derisively, however this is exactly how it works for everyone. You use your parents to help pull yourself up. This is not a flaw or a failing, is it?
The reason “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” is absurd is because of its physical impossibility.

The issue is some parents have more resources than others. If you, your family, and everyone you know is poor, what bootstraps?
Yes bootstraps are physically impossible, but I he point still remains. Parents are not made equal.
