Why would they spend more? They're already getting the outcomes they want.

  Why do they lobby as much as they do if they’re getting everything they want?

    They are getting what they want because they lobby as much as they do, not in spite of them.

      That sounds like a just so story to me, though. They could spend way more on lobbying, and get more - more subsidies, more tax incentives, etc. but they don't. It seems very unlikely to me that they get everything they could possibly want for such a tiny fraction of what they could spend, given that most everything at the Fortune 500 level is a race to the bottom.
