    That isn’t what the title is saying.

    Basically the percentage of taxable income has dropped drastically. The wealthy’s income has spiked drastically compared to less monetarily-gifted citizens. So the population is putting less money into social security. That drop is hitting a lot harder than just have fewer workers.
