A case for Hillary Clinton

I know from the word go you are asking how can people from humble backgrounds manipulate the rich? To you, it should be the other way round.

I am very sober and sure of what I am talking about. Draw your attention to this article and see how this happen.

There is a clique of people in the society who are not very rich and learned but play a very important role in the society.

 First and foremost think of a mechanic. This person may not be owning a car but he understands cars in and out. When a car belonging to a qualified engineer breaks down, he or she takes it to the mechanic for repair.

As an engineer, you will listen keenly to that class eight dropout as he explain to you the mechanical problem with your car. He can clearly point out the mistake and tell you what you have to do. You as an engineer you will what you have been told by this guy.

Secondly, we have the medicine men or should I call them witch doctors. Whatever you call them they have a commanding power of the rich in the society.

Whenever the rich have problems they seek help from these kind people and follow their advice.

It has been alleged that some doctors seek the services of medicine men when thigs are not working right in their area of professional.

Thirdly a mason is another important person in the society. No matter your educational level, whatever a mason tells you will have to implement it.

They will always guide you and build you a very good house that is admired by many. They do what is right and outsmart the rich


It may also be unfair if I don’t talk about an electrician. This guy might not have stepped in any class but he will advise you on how to make electric connections in your house. When called upon he does the job it very well.

Sometimes they will warn you don’t do this and that and for sure you will also warn your children, husband or wife against the same.You will pay them handsomely for what you can do by yourself.

Another person to be mentioned is the plumber. You will call your plumber at midnight just to fix your water pumps. You will in return pay him handsomely for that simple job.

 He will take ten minutes to fix the water pumps and wonder if it was worth calling him.A clever one will take you in circles so that you perceive the task to be cumbersome.
