Another ridiculous price tag that Trump is forcing you to pay.
This is YOUR money.
You deserve a government that works for you, not against you and your financial interests.

Not only are the wages pitifully low, the Dodgers say they have to take away a free ticket benefit that tour guides have long enjoyed BECAUSE they unionized. Gimme a break, Dodgers. Your fanbase doesn’t want you to act like Trump.
Nicole Miller, IATSE Local B-192 president, on Friday's upcoming leafleting action: "We really feel that the Dodgers should pay living wages and not strip benefits." Miller cited that the leafletting is a step in negotiations and a chance for a show of solidarity.
a source has informed me that IATSE Local B-192, the Dodger Stadium Tour Guide union, is planning to leaflet outside Gate A at Dodger Stadium this Friday. IATSE Local B-192 is negotiating with the Dodgers for fair wages (the leaflet states tour guides make $17.87/hour) and benefits.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."
In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.
