Is that because it completely debunks your theory?

You are describing a problem for which the best fix is capitalism and free markets. This is because the answer to your question is, of course, create more jobs.
Equalization is a much worse way to solve the problem you describe.

By your logic equalization payments wouldn’t have a negative impact on job creation, it would just move where those jobs end up. And since you’re such a proponent of people just packing up and moving to wherever the jobs are I’m not sure why you would take issue with that.
Fact of the matter is that with or without equalization capitalism can’t and doesn’t guarantee equality to everyone if it doesn’t produce enough jobs for everyone. You can’t sit here and pretend as if it does because frankly it never has. That doesn’t mean capitalism in itself is a bad thing, it’s just that it isn’t the be all end all flawless solution to all of our problems that you’re trying to make it out to be.
