Sometimes I josh my dentist a little, asking him when he will retire-he says when he is dead. He says, "I buy lottery tickets."
He also says," I don't want to be a tax collector for the government."
I completely understand-they have to pay for their building and the nice young ladies who form their support staff. 
There is a reason one gets a huge scary bill when they get their choppers fixed. 
 This has nothing to do with the resident meathead Wente's article, more about why we need nationalised dental care.
