I believe you mean "Why doesn't rubber conduct electricity"
Conductors share a property in that they have "loose" electrons where the electrons can move from one atom to the next. That's what electrical current is, the movement of electrons in a conductor. Rubber doesn't have these "loose" electrons and therefore will not conduct electricity. These materials are called insulators.
