Yes.
But not his tax dollars.

If you disagree with the amount you're being taxed I agree with you.

If you disagree with the idea of taxation you can fuck off back to your anarchist utopia where no one will protect you from being murdered in your sleep.

I can understand being pissed at the idea of income tax, though, which does sound like a sweat-of-his-brow kind of thing that Slightly Saner Ayn Rand might still rail against.

you do realize the whole point of Bioshock was showing the idiocy of the ideals guiding Ryan and Rapture

People always say this, but I fail to see how.
The whole place looks like it's well run.
The bit that broke it was poor decisions on Ryan's part (i.e. banning things such as religion, which is against his ideology anyways) and the whole "plasmids turn you into insane killers thing"

Did you miss the part when the city is a crumbling ruin filled with rioting lunatics? Because that's the entire fucking game.

So it was well run aside from the deeply fatal flaws that turned the place into a charnel house. Okay.

Ryan was a fool and Rapture was doomed to fail. Because that's how they were written.

Be-cause, must as you middle class spoiled, selfish kiddos, like to think yourself as "capitalists", yet protected by some ideological mambo jumbo, where everyone else is totally is too but "only within the rules"

In reality, and quite realistically come to think about it, much as in bioshock, there is always going to be someone around who is actually going to be a real bastard, who will do corruption, crime, blackmailing and all that lovely stuff. Outcompeting your by power of social connections and force.

Except it is a strawman of Rand's beliefs to being with. Don't get me wrong, I am no Randian, but Ryan ruled over Rapture like a king. It is much more a critique of totalitarian rule than anything, which misconstrues the premise.

A man is only entitled to the sweat of his own brow if he's his own boss.

If a man works for someone else, the sweat is the intellectual property of his employer.

Look, sir, this is a standard provision for space habitation contracts. It goes into recycling along with all of the other waste fluids.

You can't save yours up to take with you off-station. You only paid the cycling cost to drink the water, not to keep it. If you want to buy some chattel water, there's a supply vendor in the third ring.

They use it to support the public institutions that enabled you to make the money in the first place?

Brave, demonized anti-hero who's dream was flawed and eventually led to his downfall but was not created out of malice

>Portrayals of Socialists/Communists
Literally gangsters, A criminal and a con-man who uses the dreams of the middle-class that couldn't into a means to take absolute control. Power hungry, obviously evil

Rapture is a criticism, but it's definitely not of Objectivism. I also have to say that any society underwater was bound to fail just logistically.

I wouldn't call that criticism, that's just the obvious truth.

>dream was flawed and eventually led to his downfall
Straw-man slander. Objectivists are optimal humans. Their dreams are never flawed.
