I will travel abroad and compare what I'm saying now to what I'm hearing from my UK co-worker or my Canadian co-worker. Your worried about a bit of money so u can get STUFF. I could live with 20% of my wages cut for the sake of others and myself needed super expensive ass help.

Just 2-3% of all the income everyone makes in this country could remedy that doc pay/technology and maybe even infrastructure issue (or most) and that could be a flat tax, since the amount they pay in the tax is higher in relation to the amount they make. But we're all to worried about being "rich" and being taxed at the "rich" level, when none of us are RICH. We're middle-class!! If you can fucking live on your less than 40k or 80k a year and aren't spending and spending and spending on nothing important, no 1-10% of income cut will matter.

So again, I will be traveling to The UK hopefully next spring and stay for a week, get my teeth worked on and ask plenty of questions to those in the business and/or have been serviced by this (shitty, long-wait period, dated technology area, who are all poor and unable to compete with the American Dollar) and let you all know what its really about and not what your hearing on TV.
Since you can afford to, please go ahead and do it. Make a video of it and post it for us to see. Actually go ahead and start sending in an extra 10% to the government. Don't just talk about it.


Can I afford to send an extra 10%? I already do, as I am in one of the higher tax brackets. I'm already doing more than my part, as I do not use any government paid healthcare - I have to pay for that myself also.

Utilizing the money that I earn for my own family is not greedy, it's practical. Utilizing government money that you did not earn to pay your costs is greedy.

Why are you traveling to the UK to get your teeth worked on? Because it's cheaper? Why don't you just pay a dentist here?
You have already shown that you have no clue about how R&D is funded for technological advances. Do you really think that the UK is the leader in technilogical advances in dentistry?
