It will never happen, but the best thing that *could* happen to our politics is if citizens united (yes, that's an intentional play on words) to get Big Money the fuck out of our politics. Getting rid of the carried interest loophole wouldn't be a half bad idea either. Actually, getting rid of all the shit in the IRS code that makes citizens like us the subsidizers and enablers of the Billionaire Boys' Club would be an even better idea. And then the damned thing could be published in a single volume no bigger than the CliffsNotes on Moby Dick.

Indeed we do subsidize them. Those tax breaks they get from the GOP are merely money laundering wherein the dough lands back in GOP campaign coffers. We peons send whatever is left over after paying the water bill.
