You can still have lump sums from defined contribution plans, like my plans. I agree that defined benefit plans will go away, but defined contribution plans will gain a lot of traction some day. My Roth IRAs will already be tax free... how about tax-deductible Roth IRAs, tax break going in and tax break coming out? Maybe there are already too many kinds of IRAs -- I already manage 3 varieties (Coverdale, Roth, Traditional). It is true though that for those getting an annuity, it would be a tax break. I suspect that for the time being, most of the benefit would go to those with fairly substantial savings compared to the national norms.
