Why does the American mixed market system achieve economic success at the expense of social and moral decline?

(When I say social decline, I am refering to the lack of available social system resources) Furthermore, why does the UK’s free market system achieve economic success as well as maintain high standards of social services available to EVERYONE!? Should America progress towards a total free market system or is America’s social service failure and example of how free market economies don’t work?

There is an optimum mix of (a) free market mechanism and (b) Govt./ State activism in economic sphere. UK and US are both close to that optimum mix. The UK uses tax revenues to take care of social services through Govt. enterprise. The US uses the tax revenues for doling out cash (so-called welfare. Both the mixed economic systems achieve economic sucess and this has no effect on social and moral decline. Social and moral standards depends on the quality of effective social and moral leadership that the political establishment provides. The failure (social and moral decline) has nothing to do with the market mechanism or free markets: it is entirely a reflection of the standards the political and social elite cultivates. If the political leadership improves, social and moral improvements can take place. But US politicians seem more interested in larger govt. in economic activities with more and more regulation and impediments to free market system. Thus, both economic as well as social/ moral performance of the US is affected by ineffective political leadership (Democrats, Republications, others) playing games with each other and among theselves.
