> ...her philosophy that the collective is equally or more important than the individual in raising a child.
On what do you base that? Do you have any evidence to support the "equally or more important" interpretation?
I haven't read the book, and I presume you haven't either, but the publisher's description says nothing of the kind. The user reviews on Amazon also indicate that those who have read it disagree with your characterization.
> That doesn't mean all the profits should be given to government.
Who said anything about "all the profits?" In the video you linked to, Warren herself says the successful businessperson should "keep a big hunk of it."
> Government didn't build it either. Tax money from citizens did.
Yes, she agrees with you. She says:
> You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for.
"The rest of us" = the taxpayers.
> Prospering businesses should pay a fair tax rate to contribute to a successful city and state but not as much as she is abdicating.
How much is she advocating? I tried to find information about her supporting tax increases, but the only thing I turned up was her signing on to a bill that would have ended the sequestration in exchange for an unspecified income tax hike on people making over $1 million per year. Does she support raising the corporate tax rate?
Interesting... Who said "It takes a village to raise a child"?
Oh yeah...
