Right but anyone who ends up in the have-not side of the spectrum for whatever reason isn't going to accept this world-view because they want more themselves. They don't care if they don't truly deserve it, they'll twist morality around to suggest they do deserve it because it's in their nature.
Agreed BUT it was because those principals were enforced in society. I don't think people realized just how strict society used to be. Atheists might not have been able to teach kids for example. We enforced those principals on people.
Unfortunately, the right has taken "freedom" to the extreme and thinks everyone can and should do whatever they want but that is the belief that got us in this mess. That is literally the slave morality inversion. Society should enforce strict objective morality and it should be rooted in Judeo-Christian principals because those morals are rooted in strength. It's about becoming a better person, being morally virtuous yet humble and not entitled. But you must enforce the principals and shape society in a manner that adheres to these principals. As soon as you say you can do whatever you want without consequence, people undermine the principals. Unrighteousness should not be tolerated.

That may be describing libertarians specifically.

Very true. Great book by Tom Holland titled Dominion details the influence of Christianity on the world. It is a tome but worth the time investment.
"Oppressors" that not only create jobs and opportunity for others, but in many cases willfully donate charitably to uplift those around them.

Not universally. The have-nots are not a unified psychological archetype. Some will wallow in misery and fling mud. Others will work hard to climb up.
Both ends of the success spectrum need more biblical principles as their moral foundation. When we largely had them, society was better for it.
The decadence and decline we are seeing now is directly correlated to the absence of those principles.
