That's certainly the Socialist way of looking at it. While I respect your preference for fuel injection, using carburetors today isn't really much like promoting slavery.

In reality, there isn't a very high percentage of old cars in use. The ones that are tend to be owned by people that don't have a lot of money. Mandating their cars out off the road may have a lot more negative consequences than it seems at first.
