$42,000 MORE (lemmygrad.ml)

The median income per worker in the US is around $35,000.

We'd each be earning $42k a year more, not just a straight $42k.

The absolute middle-of-the-road wage earner would be earning significantly more than DOUBLE what they are earning now.

And IIRC, this $42k number comes from the RAND corporation a couple years ago. These folks are no analytical slouches, nor are they known as a liberal organization.
