A Message From The Commissioner: [Commissar?]

Dear Taxpayer,

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. notably said “Taxes
are what we pay for civilized society.”

We should be proud that the vast
majority of American citizens pay their taxes honestly and of their own free
will.

In an ever more complex and global world, we cannot take for granted this
cornerstone principle of our democracy.
