The Most Shocking Tax Cheats in Our History

THE FOUNDING FATHERS

It’s ironic that Capone ultimately was prosecuted for tax evasion because not paying taxes is precisely how the government prosecuting him got its start.

In the aftermath of the Seven Years’ War, Britain was interested in recouping some of the considerable expense of defending its North American colonies from the colonists who clearly were benefiting from that protection, but American colonists weren’t having it.

Moves like the Stamp Act and the Tea Act prompted the city of Boston to heave 342 chests of tea into the harbor and sparked a revolution that would ultimately cost Britain control of all 13 colonies.
