"the top 20% of earners shoulder 84% of the tax burden of the federal government"
An easy way to lower that percentage would be to lower their share of income. If your income share grows disproportionately it's to be expected that your tax burden grows disproportionately too. You are also forgetting that their tax rates have gone down a lot in the last 30 years.
