This only happens when your tax policy is setup to fund welfare through the working poor. As an economy as a whole the US has doubled in inflation adjusted wealth in just over ten year (since 2003) and through a recession. It is obvious that the overhead of welfare has not in any way stymied US economic growth, which simply means if the tax burden of the elderly is too great upon the working poor then you are taxing the wrong source of income to fund your retirement program.
