Simple solution.
Simple, not easy.

Have the States, via a convention, amend the Constitution to this effect:
-Prohibit from the congress all powers of taxation except a direct capitation tax upon the States, in proportion to population
-Prohibit from the congress and courts the power to meddle in the States' tax policies

The States will have differing tax policies.
People will leave the States which don't work.
People will move to the States which do work.

Redistribution would necessarily go from producing to consuming States.
Attempts at excessive redistribution would be checked by the Senate.

16th amendment needs to be repealed.
