Usually, "the masses" means "the common people" ... i.e. not much different from "the poor." If you meant corporations, I'm 100% behind this comment.

I think they mixed "for the rich … for the masses" and "for the poor … for corporations" while writing. But it's clear they meant contrasting terms.
