Incentives will cause redistribution of wealth: Invisible Hand shit.
1) Pre-Reagan Progressive tax rates stop executives from taking big salaries.
2) Giving away a Billionaire's wealth at his death results in at least 1000 more Millionaires.
3) Monopolies have a difficult time forming because maintaining a majority with small stock holding percentages becomes difficult.
4) Giving a huge (100%) deduction for reinvesting money into businesses that employ people not only employs people, it also makes people of known competent management skills oversee them to protect his/her investment.
How does that prevent an aristocracy from being formed? Not seeing it, you can reduce the influence of the aristocracy, but you can't eliminate it altogether.
Being filthy-rich isn't "aristocracy." Your children being filthy-rich, that's aristocracy.

Denial works especially well when the other side can’t produce any examples of that which is being denied.

Apparently, your argument is that there are no space-faring tiger people. Okay, you go with that. Denial works.
Look in the mirror Hash, you are in denial about it being impossible to not have an aristocracy, you both are being stupid.

After a year of trying, you are not convinced. How is me beating a dead horse continue your education? I just don't know. Other people know better 'n me. Whatever? I can't convince an SJW not to be an SJW either.

You can't stop that from happening with Robin Hood Economics, don't be silly. Inheritance Taxes don't solve the problem no matter how hard you squeeze your butt cheeks together. You might reduce the influence of the aristocracy with that tactic, but at what cost? You aren't getting as much juice from that squeeze as you seem to think.

Economic data shows that those who inherit wealth generally don’t remain wealthy. Even of those who built extreme wealth, only a quarter can maintain it for the course of their own lives.

Don’t need a law to govern what is happening naturally.

Aristocracy is "the highest class in certain societies", and America is not free of class distinctions, therefore an aristocracy exists. You might like to tell yourself that there is no such thing as class in America, but there sure as shit is. Even if everyone in America were all part of the same class, there would still be a highest class, everyone would just be a part of it. Aristocracy is part of human nature, you can't eliminate it with wishful thinking.

No one listens to you on anything Capps.

Yup, no counter argument, just ad hominem. DB knows he got his ass handed to him and is now trying to change the subject.
