Yeah, the vast majority of wealthy individuals will insist they "pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps" without realizing the original saying was meant to be satire, while willfully ignoring the hilarious amount of help from family, friends, and, yes, the government as well, they received along the way. They also ignore the biggest factor in success: luck.

This is also why 99% of CEO written self-help books are worker drone manuals --- insisting "you could be like me if you worked real hard too!" helps their bottom-line much more than it helps the person who reads those books.
