I know the originis of the Ambanis.I was still in India when the patriarch of the family, Dhirubhai Ambani, started Reliance Industries and grew it into a very successful corporation against all odds - incl. socialist bureaucratic nightmares sponsored by the Govt. of India.
Fact - the Ambanis started from very humble origins barely 30 years ago. Their story is proof that optimism, determination, hardwork, and other such qualities are still essential ingredients for success.
Morford should be celebrating their ascent from a poor family to one of the world’s richest in the course of a generation instead of using tired class warfare arguments.

Isn’t that the problem with class envy? You aren’t upset at people, but at what they become. (THE YOU HERE IS NOT A PERSONAL “YOU”)
So you can band with the others of your class to attack the wealthy “class”. But if one of your buddies makes it in the world, they are now the targets of your scorn.
You all WANT to be rich, but if any of you make it, you are the enemy.
It’s like a hoard of people stuck in a ditch. You work together to climb out, but whenever someone reaches the top, you pull them back to the bottom.
