On one hand it's super informative, on the other, it's super informative. Most people will see the walls of text and have their eyes glaze over. It's good, but you almost want a second one that is punchy and to the point with a similar style.

Just from a graphic design perspective, it's way too busy. Too many slogans; pick one or at most two messages (e.g. one at top as into and one at bottom as outro). The text is way too small to read on mobile. When everything is highlighted text, nothing is highlighted text. The art style for the icons is not consistent. The rightmost column has to go; either put the info at the bottom of the image or delete.
"The system wasn't just discovered – it was built."
Pure Chatgpt waffle! Make everything more human sounding.
This would be better as a series of posters. It’s too busy for one poster, and people won’t actually read anything. Create a punchy logo to put on all of the posters. This will help create consistency and grab attention. But then move the right column to a separate poster, and reduce the word count in general.
"If nobody is doing anything wrong, then why try to hide it?"
Horrendous reasoning even if used for something I agree with. Not sure we should be propagating this line of thought.
This misses one of the main instruments used.
Loans. The interest cancels out their realized gains, but unrealised gains always dwarf that. Unrealised gains aren't taxable income.

If you want to reach out, don't use "guy sitting typing on a computer" to illustrate "hard work." Sure it actually is, but that guy knows this stuff. Try 🧑🌾👷🧑🔧🛠️🪚
Is it slop?
Simultaneously too complicated and lacking context. Split it into multiple infographics.
The “you” vs “them” column makes me think of the adage “if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
The “them” side feels specific to be consumable by someone who knows nothing, while not having enough content to teach someone who does understand the basics.
If you can simplify those columns even more, I think they could still be useful. The point is that rich people pay for people and systems that are able to make their money untraceable, but “you” can’t do that. So you pay taxes, they don’t. I like the column-based visual for this concept, I just don’t think the content is ‘there’ yet.
This is a whole 45-minute presentation collapsed into one image. Ain't no one reading all that
The best way to break this system is to automate it and make it so easy to do that everyone can do it. Once the poors can do it, they will make it illegal.
"you play by the rules" comes off as super biased political non sense, so you lost me immediately.
But I'm much more "appeal to the mind" than "appeal to the heart"
