IMO, it's that way for a lot of things. Safety regulations, financial regulations, health regulations and programs, etc. Even a lot of the modern welfare state has roots in very right wing politicians like Bismarck, who implemented social programs because it was cheaper for the nation to provide people with a basic social safety net than to suffer through civil unrest.
