experts in education so i'm certainly not one but i think i know a little of what's wrong with public education. number one, entirely too much bureaucracy. some people don't do anything in schools except walking around look important making up to six figures a year. education is really overly bureaucratic in this country and another major problem with education, we have a lot of students that don't have parents or they're parents are absentee. and we have students raised by grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle or don't have anyone at all. so, when you say the parents need to get mind education with the kids. realize 30 pse&g 35 percent of the children don't have anybody to get behind them basically. this is one of the major

we'll be right back. ♪ >> the government's funding of direct aid to colleges is a laterly 1950's early 60's thing. >> hails dale college has never accepted government funding and not even government backed student loans are permitted. >> title four of the higher education act is roughly 400 pages lock. if we have a lawyer in town trying keep the government from giving us moneyed i once asked him to send it. >> hills dale college president larry, sunday night at 8 o'clock on c-span's q & a or listen onx m satellite or download the podcast. >> here is our present policy.

that we are really anxious and eager to stop the bombing as we're eager to stop the war. >> telephone conversations from the final months of lyndon johnson's presidency. troubles for his pick for supreme court chief justice. listen at ten eastern on c-span radio. in the washington baltimore area at 91 point fm and nation wide on,x m satellite channel 32. >> "washington journal" continues. >> our final segment of the morning featured patrick burn of over stock.com. how much does your business rely on the internet? >> well, 100 percent. we're pure play we call. there's no brick and mortar star. all internet. >> as far as business, how much traffic do you generate and what's your revenue stream from

it? >> 10 pse&g 20 million visitor as month and probably do just about a billion dollars this year. >> when you come to washington, one of the things, from what i understand is your concerned about how the internet is used. particularly in the terms of taxation what's the issue? >> the issue is there are states who want to start taxing, we're based in you at the so when we, somebody buys something from wisconsin we don't put a sales tax on it. california, new york is starting to say we want that sales tax revenue and that's now the issue. >> so when states like that want that revenue, what ultimately could that do for your business? >> well, it could hurt us and it would hurt the people in those states that start paying tax on products they're not paying on now. >> when you - do you come to washington to lobby and talk to

folks about it. >> i'm not real popular for other reasons on capital hill. i have folks that come and lobby but actually, we haven't jumped into that issue too much but we've made our position clear. we're lobbying on other wall street issues but on that, we've made it clear. you want me to hit that? in 1992. supreme court. quill verses north dakota decided it was own rouse to ask catalog companies to pay tax on those out of state sales. just the 7,000 tax jurisdictions in america. in kentucky, cotton candy is taxes as candy in ohio it's taxed as food. there's no way for us to know the tax rates on every product in 7,000 places for that reason it's impossible for them to tax. however they're talking about

getting around that by creating database updated and then they would argue that knocks down that objection. but still there's about 07' pse&g 80 percent americans against paying taxes on internet purchases. it would wipe out e-bay because everybody would start to have the to pay and collect taxes and thus. the internet is a friction less environment now and that would impose it on that. >> it's happening at the state level and it's also, congress is looking to pass law to enable it, that sort of enables getting around, enables the central data base to get around the objection from the supreme court. the state legislators are starting to sort of reach and try to find ways through that. could the states make a case if something is bought off the internet it's not from a brick and mortar state and we're

losing revenue from it? >> they certainly make the argument they're losing revenue from it. the argument it's not bought from a brick and mortar in their state which i would say well that's our point and not your point. brick and mortar or target store has employees that drive on roads. children use our schools and it imposed cost on the infrastructure where as we're just maleing a problem and it doesn't effect it nearly as much therefore we shouldn't be taxed. the true lobbying going on from behind this is from target and wal-mart. those are the stores the national retail is lobbying like crazy because they don't like the disadvantage they suffer. >> but they have web-sites as well. >> right but the majority vast sales from them are still in brick and mortar. >> for those on capital hill

whether you talk to them personally or people associated with your company, do you have a sympathetic ear and who have you talked to? >> i have not been. i have not been involved the lobbying. like i said, i've been antagonistic to folks on call toll hill and this is as close as i get to capitol hill but there are in general, i know there are, it's not a popular idea on capitol hill. enezi is trying enable it and there's a few other internet companies realizing it's a bad thing for governments to tax internet transactions. >> we'll have a guest on this for the next 25 minutes or so and if you want to ask him questions about these issues you can do so by calling one of the numbers correlating below.

fault tolerance but what's happened is hedge funds a small number figured out how they could abuse the loopholes and flood the market with billions of fake shares and by doing that they can manipulate the different stocks and crash companies. it's an issue intertwined. take down lehman bros. and so it's just intertwined around a lot of financial interests. we argue the loop hopes one of which is called the madoff loophole. >> how does this direct internet companies like yours? >> how it effects any company, i actually keep trying separate it from over stock. over stock is fine and we don't need capital b
