$15/hr * 2000 hours * 300 workers = $9 million $9m * .10 = $900,000
nothing fuzzy about that math

How many people can they hire on $900,000/yr? Or let's round up and say $1m. They've got to print their paper, pay rent on offices (their place on 14th St isn't small - 5000 sq ft at low-end rates would be about $100,000/yr in rent alone, not including electricity and phones). Even if they paid their organizers $20,000/yr, 100 would cost $2m. They'd be lucky if they could afford two dozen.
