You're just saying the same thing with different words. If the Fed or the congress doesn't represent the people it doesn't make any difference to the elite class, who indeed own these two entities.
The distinction is significant though, there mechanisms to limit the fed's power if it's necessary, even if those levers and dials are not being currently used.
