Corporations and governments aren't actual concrete things, they are labels put on certain actions of people (and corporations, specifically, are just names for certain actions of people through government.) So "people and corporations" and "people and government" are both just people.

The distinction is important because people in government and people in corporations usually have different motives than people in general. (Particularly people in leadership roles within these org's)

That's correct. I'm making the distinction because of the comment that we "need corporations".
