Because in America if you don't pay taxes you'll get in trouble, but Al Capone did it for so many years he practically made a joke of the tax system. It's almost funny that he was able to get away with such a thing for so long without anyone in our government having the capability to do something about it.
P.S. To all the little children out there, pay your taxes when you grow up!!

You can get 3 years of jail time for tax evasion. That is how Al Capone and Wesley Snipes went to jail.
It was actually his idea. Capone turned himself in to Chicago police on a concealed-weapons charge, as an ultimate way to avoid a "hit" by rival gangsters. He expected to be released after things settled down, but the Federal government seized the opportunity (since Capone was already in custody, and could be extradited) to launch an income tax evasion case against him. He was convicted in 1922, and sent to prison.
