Man: I can tell by the defeated look on your face you just finished your taxes.
Adam: It was horrible. I pulled an all-nighter. I was so tired that I looked into my own soul.
Man: And? What'd you see in your soul?
Adam: An IRS agent asking for half of it.

Half? That’s a bit of an exaggeration (unless his family income is a lot higher than his lifestyle would indicate).
If their income is the American average, then counting all levels of federal, state, and local taxes, it’s more like a third.
That’s one-third of your life that doesn’t really belong to you.

I’d say the legibility of the lettering has improved. I now have less difficulty reading it. Thanks for that.

“That’s one-third of your life that doesn’t really belong to you.”
Fine. You get that one third, but you gotta spend all your money on everything that you want. You don’t get to use anything any one else creates or builds unless you pay them. Someone else built a store, so you gotta pay the store if you want to enter their property. Someone else built the parking lot for the group of stores, so you gotta pay if you park there. Someone else built the road on the way to the parking lot, so you gotta pay if you occupy those roads. Oh, and good luck on getting robbed while you’re away. Got enough money to call the police?
