"Free" is probably the wrong word. They get to do that in places that have a strong social fabric. The diversity of America combined with a capitalism-induced culture of pitting people against each other makes that impossible in the US.

I think free is the right word. A "strong social fabric" is necessary for a truly free place. The US is not very free.
