If the Estate Tax is abolished, what will you use to replace the revenue? For instance, [link|http://www.cbpp.org/3-16-05tax.htm|estimates] are that under current law (no estate tax in 2010, reinstated in 2011), $290 B would be lost to the Treasury by 2015 if the Estate Tax is abolished after 2010 - $72 B in 2015 alone. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the funding can't come from reductions in "waste, fraud and abuse."

I'll assume no such thing, ta very much. If our ickle gubmint can fuck up to the tune of \ufffd80B a year, I'm sure your fine establishment can manage to arse up \ufffd70B a year.
