The point is: just because someone is aquainted with the wealthy, doesn't mean that they will spend all of their time working exclusively FOR the benefit of the wealthy.
I have no problem with the Clintons. They're talented and intelligent people. Of course they've taken advantage of their skills to go as far as they possibly can. I'm disinclined to hold that against them.
The really silly thing here is the concept that being born into great wealth and culture requires that you give back. Would you pass that on to the Bush family, I don't think they were informed that this 'give back' thing was the gospel that you seem to believe that it is.
