Thank you. What I was asserting is that a socialist economic policy is one where the government interferes with prices and quantities of goods and services. Other interference in the market (such as lead paint standards for childens' toys), particularly when they are properly designed to protect the lives and health of humans, is not socialist, is not anti-capitalist.

Them evil socialists! They might stop our babies growing immunities to lead poisoning! *Shakes Fist*
