Tax evasion recently landed actor Wesley Snipes in prison, and Nicolas Cage in hot water. Still, the IRS doesn’t discriminate between actor, singer or reality star. Marc Anthony owes $3.4 million in back taxes, it has emerged. He and wife Jennifer Lopez make an estimated $61+ million each year but, somehow, Mar... |

In the UK, for instance, the state is aiming to put a tax on chocolate to discourage people with weight issues from consuming it in such large quantities, much in the manner alcohol and cigarettes are taxed, reports in th... |
