Takemura: "I remember the chemical stench of the canal where we boys washed our shirts. Corporate transporters sometimes passed through our slum. Arasaka selecting children, but only the clean ones... you show me filthy streets as if no other world exists, as if nothing else is possible. What of the millions who work for Arasaka and receive stability, safety?" V: "And the Chiba 11 slum rats? They're there scraping scraps out of scoptins. Corpse decided that too." Takemura: "We cannot fix everything at once."

The other dialog that I think speaks to this comes from a character who is entirely bought in to the Corpo world: Takemura.
Takemura is a true believer. He was elevated from poverty to high status by Arasaka. He believes that, eventually, given enough time and power, Corpos will save rest of the world too.
