6/This picture is an incredibly vivid illustration of a nation in decline.
11/We need to act to arrest this decline.

We need to act BIG.

And we need to act NOW.
12/Because if we don& #39;t, it& #39;s only a matter of time until the other shoe falls:

CAPITAL FLIGHT.

16/We& #39;re not near a Venezuela-style collapse yet, but we are DEFINITELY heading in that direction.

We need a big change of leadership right now. And more than that, we need a big change in our national consciousness.
