Then that is because voters are interested in electing said sellouts. I guess you'll just have to vote on candidates based on merit rather than party affiliations and "lesser evil" mentality.

Maybe they won't stop right away, but corruptibility will be reduced due to the simple fact that there is less to corrupt. The rest of the subsidies will need to be done away with by electing good politicians, rather than sellouts.
