If he wasn't already in jail for all the other stupid shizz he's done, O.J. Simpson would probably be in jail anyway for all the stupid tax shizz he's done! LOLz!

The IRS is all about going after O.J., and for good reason: in total, he owes them about $580,000 — which includes the brand new lien filed against him $63,413.79 from missing income taxes from 2006!

That's a hefty sum for 2006, but pales in comparison to the ones totaling over $190,000 for the years 2007-2011, and the State of CA issued tax lien against him for

The ladies of The View got fired up, as they so often do, over a sensitive issue: sin taxes.

These "sin taxes" are basically taxes on things like sugary soft drinks that are meant to discourage people from buying them.

The whole idea is that obese people tend to buy less healthy foods and their obesity racks up billions of dollars in healthcare.

Melissa Joan Hart was there as a guest host but barely got a word in because things started to get a little heated.

The main problem is that some of the more unhealthy foods are actually way cheaper than the healthy stuff.

So a family on a budget could really run into some trouble with these proposed taxes.

Check out the video (above) to hear the ladies of The View tackle sin taxes.

We LOVE this idea!

Lance Armstrong is asking California voters to approve Proposition 29 in June, which will raise the packs of cigarettes sold in the state by just $1 as a means to raise money for cancer research!

Since cigarettes CAUSE cancer, why not give a little bit back toward curing the disease too? If it was up to us, we'd eliminate

Americans consumed 13.8 billion gallons of sugar-sweetened beverages in 2009, which provided approximately 70,000 “empty calories” per person.

A new study is asserting that if we want to limit the largest source of added sugar and excess calories in the American diet — both linked to weight gain and type 2 diabetes — the government should start taxing it!

In the past several years, thanks to increased awareness and stricter public smoking laws, cigarette smoking has been on the decline. In fact, less than 20% of adults over the age of 18 smoked in 2010!

However, some people still aren't taking the hint thanks to their state's lack of interest in promoting healthy breathing.

Based on smoking (and quit) rates, smoking bans and restrictions, cigarette taxes and sales, and deaths attributable to smoking, here are the 10 states most addicted to smoking:
