Not strictly true. The government also has money which it "extorts"
from corporations, and has the ability to impose requirements on those
corporations. The former is direct income, the latter allows for
indirect spending.

Ultimately the corporations derive their money from the individual, but
that's similar to claiming that eating steak is vegetarian, since cows
eat grass!
