17. Somehow they thing "the corporations" are a negative

Which is an overly broad brush. As if the economy in modern times could function at all without some form of business organization.

Corporations come in all sizes. I think they really mean only the very large corporations or the multinationals, but they seem unaware of the fact most corporations are small or medium sized.

And that we work for them. They see a black and white "labor vs. management" thing where management is always wrong and in fact really wants to exploit the laborers as much as possible and squeeze them as much as possible. This may apply to a few here and there, but most people are not that malevolent. This meme assumes anyone who gets one rung above the worker at the bottom level is going to instantly turn malevolent.
