In this video, the "dumb dad" of sitcom fame turns into the consumer who needs to be courted by all corporations. Hilariously the narrators attribute postwar wealth to, guess what, WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION. Hello commies!

A bit of over-glorification of the American "Look How Much money we can spend!" 50's years (known as the Baby Boom), Oppurtunities Unlimited presents glowing statistic after statistic about how everyone is spending money without a care in the world, so why don't you as well? Heck, a bit over half of the film tells of what America can do now since it's so cash-happy.
