That doesn't seem to me to follow directly. History is full of successful people who treat the wealthy/powerful well, but treat people who aren't wealthy/powerful less well, and come out ahead by doing so. It really is only in Christian morality, imo (or other similar religions' morality), that this kind of thing somehow inherently doesn't work.
