Reduce dental costs for average people, none of whom has (apparently) complained about the quality of your work, and what do you get? In Florida, you get arrested for practicing without paying the state's extortion fee (i.e., getting a license):
[Roger] Bean performed denture fittings and made false teeth in his garage, charging just $200 for a full set of dentures, a procedure that typically costs more than $2,000, authorities said. But he was not licensed to practice in Florida.Palm Beach County Sheriff's detective Don Zumpano said there were "health risks with operating this type of facility outside of your house," adding that Bean's workspace was "filthy."
Neighbors and clients, however, praised Bean for saving them thousands of dollars.
Ron St. Mary, 73, head of the neighborhood crime watch, said Bean is no criminal.
"He's helping the old people who don't have a few dollars," he said. "I think the world of him."
Interesting, isn't it, that a citizen who watches out for criminals thinks "the world" of this guy, while the official state thugs who allegedly watch out for crooks are out to get him? More proof that the state's interests are the polar opposite of ours.
