EXCERPT:

AYKROYD: "Inflation is our friend. (Laughter) For example consider this -- in the year 2000 if current trends continue, the average blue collar annual wage in this country, will be $568,000. Think what this inflated world of the future will mean -- most Americans will be millionaires. Everyone will feel like a big shot.”
