The same reason we use laws and guns to enforce laws against murder and theft. Tax evaders are criminals and they get the treatment they deserve.

Well, you are kind'a splitting hairs on that. Technically it is called a constitutional republic but we use rules of democracy to select congressional representatives and our executive. These democratically selected leaders then legislate and enforce the laws. If we don't like what they are doing we kick 'em out at the end of there terms and select new representatives and leaders. Been working pretty good for over 200 years.
