This song is definitely about capitalism and corporate/consumer culture, but I don't think it's anti-anything. Just a commentary on what the US is founded on. Very non-preachy though, like David Byrne.
The last two stanzas to me seem anti-corporatist. Not blatant, just very sarcastic-sounding. "You know if we could we'd sell the air" -- sounds kind of like he doesn't like those people. But you're right, like David Byrne he tells people off subtly
