The issue as I see it is that:
Corporations control the government.
The bad things that corporations do are much more immediate and common.
When a government does something bad, in practice it is often just failing to protect people from corporations. For example, the parent mentioned providing clean air and water; however, the most likely scenario where that doesn't happen is a corporation polluting the environment.
When the government does bad things (or more commonly fails to prevent bad things from happening), the consequences tend to correlate with inequality.
