My own layman's theory about why a lot of the Rich are so fucking angry at the President

5. Thanks to the late, great Frank Capra, I call what they're suffering from "The Potter Syndrome"

Instead of being just the richest motherfucker in Bedford Falls, Old Man Potter made it a personal crusade to ruin the reputation of George Bailey, because Bailey had the temerity to call him a "warped, frustrated old man". Check out this classic scene:

Bailey was a man who didn't have great personal riches, but his transcendence as a human being was instrumental for the town of Bedford Falls to be a thoroughly livable place. Bailey was loved and respected by the town's citizens and when he found himself in a bind, it was the love and respect of all the people he helped over the years that helped him out.

Potter, on the other hand, only achieved the safety level of Maslow's chart. He had the opportunity to transcend, but never did, was never held in high personal regard for being the richest man in town and for that he resented Bailey's standing in the community, despite the fact that he had money and Bailey was facing financial ruin.

These rich assholes are all Potters, and President is George Bailey who will reap the benefit on election day, for being the decent, transcended human being that he his.

Just look at the President, you can tell that he's have quite a Wonderful Life.
