Mmm... it's both simpler and more complicated than the graphic conveys

simpler: government doesn't even need to tax the peoples' wealth, it can just print the money to pay off the debt

complex: whether printing money or taxation, there are enormous and unpredictable downstream effects, not to mention political instability

IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!!!
