It is an art and science
- See how far you can push people
  - Push that far, then loosen up, and it seems free by contrast

- Control over money flows and policy issues
- Control over the hearts and minds of your people
- Rhetorical advantage (enemy of the state for disagreeing with Rumsfield - unpatriotic)
Powerful people squeeze for all they can get
