52. LOL, reading theads out of order (and out of thread) gets hard to follow.
(I had to find your response here, because you referenced it elsewhere).

I'm trying to claim that 20% of "workers" get a level of benefits that the wealthy get. That's what a Cadillac plan is. It's part of their overall wealth, earnings, etc.

They're basically getting $23,000+ a year cash bonus for their family, off the books. Every Year.

Some may be (by cash income) professional class, some may be middle class, some may be working class, some may be working poor... so, I ask again, what actual number of *working class* workers, or households, is going to be affected?

Not number of workers (which includes CEO's like Steve Jobs, who at one point made $1 a year in salary), but actual *working class*?

As far as the claim that 20% of workers are wealthy, here's a simple math tip:
20% of workers are wealthier than the other 80% are. By mathematical definition.
