The corporations are their workers. The suits are only powerful because we collectively chose to listen to them.

The suits control the purse strings, that's why they are powerful.

If you don't listen, you get shown the door and they'll pay someone who will listen.

You still don't get it? The "purse" is just a social construct.

They are their workers AND all the other people who aspire to work for them.
