Thrivers vs Builders Under BETS
Under the BETS framework: Builders absorb systemic risk and create infrastructure. Thrivers succeed within that infrastructure. When Builders receive incentives, it’s because they are solving national priorities. Thrivers pay standard rates because they benefit from what Builders created. It’s not unfairness. It’s structural logic. If you want a different tax relationship, you must evolve your economic role. Are you thriving —or building?
