So as far as you are concerned "the establishment" is just "the government"?
The government is the tip of the spear, so to speak. What corporations can or can't do is determined by government regulation. In return, politicians are given or denied campaign contributions. It is also the politicians that keep this relationship between regulatoin and campaign finances in place.
The government holds the reins on this one, even if they are being told where to go. We can't expect companies to go out of their way to make less money. That isn't how they are set up. However, we should expect our elected representatives to do what is best for the people. I think that is where the divide really comes in.
