America is at as crossroads for certain. As with any human institution it is only a matter of time before it becomes corrupted. Because of that nature it matters not what system is in place, anarchy, or some form of State government, man will soon corrupt it. What would be a better answer would be to change the hearts of man as Christ taught. What has created the plutocracy, oligarchy, kleptocracy, crony capitalism, whatever you want to call it. Anarchy simply forms a different variation of the same corruption. And it is not that the government has unlimited control. That is not true at all. Corporate powers have far more power through lobbyests, and the influence of money, then government, and that is the source of the corruption.
Here is one , and perhaps the major reason since it is the antithesis of the Founders desires, reasons why the country is in such disarray:

The top 1 percent of U.S. earners collected 19.3 percent of household income in 2012, their largest share in Internal Revenue Service figures going back a century.
U.S. income inequality has been growing for almost three decades. But until last year, the top 1 percent's share of pre-tax income had not yet surpassed the 18.7 percent it reached in 1927, according to an analysis of IRS figures dating to 1913 by economists at the University of California, Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics and Oxford University.
One of them, Emmanuel Saez of the University of California, Berkeley, said the incomes of the richest Americans might have surged last year in part because they cashed in stock holdings to avoid higher capital gains taxes that took effect in January.
Last year, the incomes of the top 1 percent rose 19.6 percent compared with a 1 percent increase for the remaining 99 percent.
And while the 1% do so well, it is that same 1% that will take from all others:
