Cliff: "Because see the government comes for the regular people first."

And it isn't that far from the truth.

@honeegrrl That's pretty much Old School, @honeegrrl. The goal of any parent is (a) send kid(s) to college, and (b) make sure kid(s) don't go to jail. Education is the one thing that no one can EVER take from you. They can repo your car, your boat, your private jet, your McMansion. They one thing they can NEVER take away from you is your KNOWLEDGE.

@BFFFL16 I know and I remember when I saw the pilot for the first time and I never picked it up.

@pytko3 My co worker has a wealthy brother and he writes off some of the most ridiculous things.

[honeegrrl]

@andreblake2 Yes that's true, I'm glad my parents cared, boy did they cared. I remember I tried to pull something like on my parents, I told him I wasn't going to college. And all they said was okay that's fine, so when do you register for college, lol.

[andreblake2]

@honeegrrl No they do not, @honeegrrl. I come from another era, I guess. I can tell you, if my own Dad came to me like Cliff Huxtable did, I would be 2,000 percent better off than I am now. All any of us needs is someone who cares more about us than we care for ourselves. AB

Thats the only Episode you ever heard Clff say Damn

[honeegrrl]

@pytko3 Yeah this sounds a lot like today and the government is still coming after the regular people first, thanks to the GOP (Greed Over People)

[pytko3]

@honeegrrl True. My girlfriend says that's the truth and she's an accountant.
