These quotes are priceless:

"I want my money today! It's my money. I want it right now!" yelled one former campaign worker.

"It should have been $480. It's $230," said Imani Sankofa.

"They gave us $10 an hour. So we added it. I added up all the hours so it was supposed to be at least $120. All I get is $90," said Charles Martin.

"I worked nine hours a day for 4 days and got paid half of what I should have earned," said Randall Waldon.


Could it be more obvious that it's been some time since these people received a paycheck?!

Imani, Charles, Randall, have you NEVER heard of WITHHOLDING?!

Consider it an act of patriotism!
