Guess I can't appreciate Socialist Values

Yesterday, I listened to a talk radio program dedicated to Automotive enthusiasts.

I was astonished to hear the two hosts seriously discussing how auto racing would be better if all racers used the same "leased engines," how the savings would reduce costs, resulting in more people being able to afford owning race cars and thus more people able to attend the races.

In my book, that would reduce the Winner to those who had fewer flat tires, fewer mechanical problems and least likely to have been affected by a sudden gust of wind.

So why not have the Drivers just push grocery carts around the track as that would likely foster more Innovation and Creativity than their idea.

Guess I can't appreciate the Socialist Values where winners and losers are not uniquely recognized and unfair advantages are left to only those who can keep them secret, as in Politics and Social Planning. The City of Portland and Oregon State Government for examples.
