That's true for the immediate benefits. However, if those corporations go belly up, jobs are lost. And that affects the little guy in a huge way.

I wouldn't worry that much about it. I mean if a big corp doesn't get pumped on the stock market it doesn't automatically mean it'll fail. Whether a government chooses to buy apple or intel stocks, people will still continue buying iphones and CPUs.
On the other hand, there are quite a few small to mid size businesses that could be improved through investment funding.... (btw these also cause lost jobs if they go belly up - and they are way more vulnerable to extinction).
