So, if the second contributer recieves something of value, has Bauer sold something, and therefore sale taxes are due, and income tax would have to be paid by Bauer? Or does the value of the “gift” from Bauer have to be determined and declared and the reciever owe a tax on the “gift”?

It seems these are IRS type questions that are not related to a campaign as much as they are to a business transaction.

In looking at the Pay Pal part of the web page I did not see a way to pay sales tax. I suppose that is a Department of Revenue question.

…

At one time, I felt Andre’ was being picked on with the speeding ticket, and being plastered all over the front pages of the local paper…and lots of other creative re-enactments of it…but then, hearing of the security detail he had, while the governor didn’t even have competent security at times…I don’t know…Andre’’s whole aura just smells squirrelly to me.

It’s refreshing to know Andre’s “insiders” are interested. Have you ordered any Christmas gifts for your family from Andre’s “mini eBay”? What a scam!!

Off the top of my head it sounds like the “contribution” is of the actual property and that the people buying these things are just buying them as they normally would anything else. Thus, gain does not have to be reported by the contributor. If there are sales taxes, then I would also guess Andre would pay them because, after the donation to him, he is the “seller.” But maybe there is a sales tax exemption for some of this stuff or for him? As for the other questions, FMV is whatever people are willing to pay for it and yes it is legal to sell alcohol.

Those speeding tickets and red light violations (causing an officer to draw a weapon on him) almost certainly made his safe-driver discount evaporate.

From the day Andre broke his hand punching a wall in his office (back when he was in the Legislature) to his “SC2″ radio call to get out of Highway Patrol speeding ticket (at Warp Factor 9) to his red light violation that made an officer draw a gun on him, poor little Andre doesn’t have the maturity to be gub’ner. Not to mention him scamming SC on that highway property thing.

Wake up SC! Andre is “in it for Andre.” Just like most we elect.

Our BIN News Investigative Staff is researching Andre’s affection for the elderly. Initial feedback suggests a Shealy-Scam. Stay tuned.

We need a real leader for Governor of SC.

Strom Thurmond, where are when we really need you.

Miss you Strom!

Why does no one ever ask Ethics for a written opinion?

Maybe it is legal…but it is confusing.
