Here's how I think the average joe sees things. Most people here may not fall into this category, but certainly know people who do: A) Politicians only listen to money; even ones that are on your side; laws therefore are skewed towards those who have money. B) Companies donate large sums of money to politicians; therefore they listen to companies. C) Very rich individuals also donate large sums of money, but the average joe can't figure those names out on their own and will rely on rumor mills from social media, and media propaganda from his/her political tribe. So people will get mad at companies first because they are more visible and the fact that it's more possible for a non-rich person to get people to stop spending money at a corporation than making a lawmaker do what you want.
