We do to a larger extent, but we also increasingly have similar social problems as the US. Economic freedom doesn't directly lead to good things. It is essentially economic freedom -> good social conditions -> good things. You can move to a more rural are in Europe and won't have to worry as much about money (especially if you are working remotely), but the social conditions will likely be worse, maybe even a lot. And you'll still pay the same taxes.
