Anyone who doesn't loot defenseless stores is a fool!

  That has me thinking about extending the metaphor horrifically. Part of the answer for "why not?" has been "the owner has a gun". It obviously violence would be non-ideal on several levels but a really any sufficient counter force could work and probably would work better albeit with collective action problems. The reason "lobbying" works for cheap is because it helps get them elected. If it was as bad as having an extramarital affair or otherwise a kiss of death the "lobbying" would get more expensive. Similarly if lobbyists got boycotted to hell and back they would hesitate more.
