The drop off corresponds to the benefit. If you reduce the amount less you make from making more money, you are reducing the benefit people are getting.
As an example, you can reword this just as accurately to say that for every dollar less the person makes, they actually only make $0.27 less because benefits kick in for $0.63 of it. You can reduce that 63%, but when phrased that way, do you want to?
