"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well." ~Andrew Ryan, Bioshock
This is the origin story IRL for Rapture lmfaoo
And like Rapture this will be a total success*!
*The term success is not defined in the scope of this comment.
How do Americans feel about this attitude?

I assume you mean the overall libertarian screed here and not the thing about Washington saying it belongs to the poor.
Most think it's stupid.
A bunch say it makes sense but don't really understand it or are naiive.
A few do understand it and say they support it, but don't really when push comes to shove. Or support for knowingly dishonest reasons.
A few do understand and genuinely support it.
I was really asking about that specific bit. The idea of the state doing much to help the poor seems a little dated, from what I see of USA politics on the internet. I don't see much opposition to redistribution, but then, neither do I see much favor for it.
ETA: Thanks for the answer, though.
I would rather it go where it can do some good, instead of into the hoard of another billionaire.
