Ah, I see what you don't understand. Governments work for the people, not just the rich, and they have the power to prohibit businesses from outsourcing production to inexpensive labor markets to protect domestic jobs. This was the case in the US until free trade agreements enabled companies to ditch Detroit, Seattle, and manufacturing hubs to outsource jobs to China, India, etc.

You've admitted there's a corporate dictatorship free to do whatever it pleases because it controls our governments and the public. While this is true, democracy doesn't exist, workers/citizens seek to overturn the power imbalances that create an inequitable economic system, impoverishing people and reducing their rights.

I'd explain money creation, but that's a long, in-depth explanation, and I don't want to waste my time on someone who retorts verbatim rhetoric that they don't understand. However, you should ask yourself how do billionaires become rich? Sure, they sell goods and invest in capital, but who generates their wealth and the nation's economic gains? Would billionaires earn their finance without workers?

The easiest way to profit is by reducing labor costs, and cutting wages, jobs, and employee benefits enriched the wealthy class. They earned their riches by exploiting workers, so it's not "other people's money".

For more information, check out the wealth Thatcher and Reagan transferred from workers to corporations since ending Keynesian economics in the 80s. You should also learn about the New Deal and investments in social programs that rescued the US economy and provided Americans with a decent standard of living.

However, you may enjoy upholding corporate myths, exploitation, and billionaires' revenue, but the French and most people don't appreciate austerity, disempowerment, and working until death.
