Of course there isn't a place that's 100% free. That's nature. We don't live in a Utopia. But to say that the United States doesn't have a free market or capitalism at all is a stretch.
No place on earth has 100% of any system. They are all amalgamations of economic systems. The US just happens to lean on the Free Market Capitalism far more than most countries.
