People could pull themselves up by their bootstraps IF the government would stop digging so hard in their pockets that it shoves them back down again.

You must live in late-18th Century France. If that's the case, I suggest you secure the use of a time machine and get out of there ASAP before the guillotines make an appearance. That is a toxic environment ripe for revolution.
Where I come from, people are poor because they make choices and take actions that keep them poor. The opposite is true for achievers, they make choices and take actions which result in success.

Where exactly do you come from with the generalizations? I've seen successful people lose their jobs and have great difficulty getting back on track. Not everyone who is poor is that way because of their choice of actions.

Look around at some of the other posts on this thread if you want generalizations.
I don't doubt what you say is true. However, if they get on track they do not stay poor.
Bad luck has something to do with being poor. But attitude, decision making, and action (or lack thereof) has much more to do with it.

What makes you think success is about having the most money? I don't need the biggest house, the finest car or the most expensive clothes. I don't want those things, never have.
I consider myself successful. I was bascially homeless at 17 but now I own my home, my car is paid off, my motorcycle is paid for, I also have zero credit card debt. I would call that success.

You forgot a few:
1. Be born to the right parents.
2. Have a rich mentor.
3. hit the lottery.
4. get run over by a UPS truck and survive.
5. end up on a quiz show with the right answers.
6. get in a homosexual relationship with a Saudi prince.
7. Break into a mobsters house and crack the safe, find millions.
There are more, but those will work if you try them.

Lighten up a bit then read Deeprak. I agree though internal wealth is the true treasure.
