He must be knowledgeable in the art with which he is concerned, an impresario, labor negotiator, diplomat, educator, publicity and public relations expert, politician, skilled businessman, a social sophisticate, a servant of the community, a tireless leader - becomingly humble before authority - a teacher, a tyrant, and a continuing student of the arts.” ArtSocialCommunityLeaderTeacherFieldsStudentsPoliticianAuthorityConcernedLaborRelationManagementHumbleManagersServantExpertsGood ManTyrantsContinuingBusinessmanPublicityEducatorPublic RelationsKnowledgeableDiplomatsGood Manager Author:John D.

“Incivility is a symptom, not the disease. We've always had partisan conflict in Congress, and we always will. Yet when I worked for a year (1970-71) on the staff of Sen. Ed Muskie of Maine, this was a different place, more collegial, more sensitive to data, more concerned about all of the American people. I think because the for-profit media prizes conflict above cooperation and sound bites above analysis, politicians have learned to adapt to those tendencies. Consequently, our public debates are dumbed down as our problems grow more complex.” PeopleThinkingYearsDifferentProblemGrowsSoundMediaPoliticianConflictDiseaseConcernedComplexesCongressProfitDebateTendenciesDataAnalysisSensitivePrizeCooperationBitesStaffSymptomsDifferent PlacePartisansMaineSound BitesIncivility Author:Tom Allen

There are those who think they're too high and those who think they should be even higher because, after all, politicians spend our money far more wisely than we do.

“When Congress votes for all sorts of benefits, without voting for enough taxes to pay for them, they get the support of those who have been promised the benefits, without getting grief from the taxpayers.
