I think nearly all the components that the colonists faught against are in place. We have a strong central government making decisions over people in foreign lands (states), a standing army, and centralized banks. We have separation of recognized religions from government, but there are many false beliefs being promoted by common resources, which could be seen as new religions.

We need separation of bank and state. Along with that, we need to bring power to a local level. Local enough for the pepetrators of tyranny have to face the public literally.
