'They' is the 'magical evil ruling class' that is the bane of every such fantastic ideology. There really isn't much of a 'they' trying to 'control you'. Frankly, mostly, rich people are more conscientious, and just want to 'make money' for the most part. The most cynical I think we could be would be to say that 'they' - meaning the business community at large - want you mostly to 'consume stuff'. But the level of irrational cynicism here is a little disturbing, a see a lot of people who might be depressed and could be reaching out for help.
