💣 Debt Trap 🕳️ The Offshore Drain

🕳️ The Offshore Drain

Capital doesn’t flee taxes — it flees uncertainty.

When citizens lose trust, money becomes the first migrant. It leaves the house quietly, naturally, almost innocently. In the symbolic scene, the Family House (the metaphor of the State) has humanlike windows, eyes, nose, door and a trembling mouth. It cries softly while clouds of dollar-bills escape through its windows like puff-shaped drawings made by a child.

The cloud-money forms a floating bridge toward a distant island — the Offshore Haven — painted in bright, unrealistic colors. There are no institutions, no rules, no questions. Only safety from unpredictability.

The uncomfortable truth behind the grotesque: offshore havens thrive not because people dislike taxes, but because they distrust how those taxes are used. Capital behaves like water — it flows where the vessel is strongest. If the State cracks, the money leaks.

Formula:

Distrust → Capital Flight → Empty House

Symbols:

– Crying House-State — fragile institutions, emotional erosion.

– Dollar-Clouds — innocent shape of a systemic problem.

– Offshore Island — sanctuary born from institutional failure.

Alt-text:

A house with humanlike features cries as dollar-shaped clouds drift from its windows toward a bright offshore island. The scene is clean, minimalistic, slightly ironic.
