"Most" might be a bit of a reach, but there has been a deliberate perversion of one of the American Founding Mythos: The "Protestant Work Ethic".

God rewards those who are good, and punishes those who are bad. Therefore, if you're rich, its God rewarding you for being good, and if you're poor, God is punishing you. Therefore, we should help the rich, because they're good, and not help the poor, because they're bad.

It's not spelled out this explicitly, but this has very much become the philosophy of the right-wing Evangelicals, and a big part of why they love Trump. He's rich, so anything he does is good, and he's really punishing those wicked poor people.
