A slave can't chose to work somewhere else though. She could chose to work somewhere else with cheaper conditions.

Personally I believe the crucial element is the psychology of a human being, and I believe that by that measure, 'true' freedom is much rarer than we think. On the level of societies, I think a world where everyone would have too much freedom might actually not lead to optimal individual or collective happiness, and I think finding the balance is incredibly complicated. All that said, I think the relative lack of security and freedom for many people in the US is a travesty and not fitting for a country that puts freedom front and center.
