Surprised to hear Neal say that. That comment is going to PO fairtaxers.

You missed it, Sprite. The post was pro Fair Tax (Boortz) vs. pro Flat Tax (Daniel Mitchell).
That was Mitchell's quote.
that comment was by Mitchell.
Uh Neal did not say that... That was Daniel J. Mitchell

"But if we actually want to get rid of the IRS and adopt a simple and fair tax system, the flat tax is the only horse that can make it to the finish line."

That wasn't Neal, it was Dan Mitchell. Most of the "inside-the beltway" types favor the flat tax. I'm a FairTaxer and it doesn't PO me. He is just wrong. The flat tax will never have any significant Democratic support. The FairTax should, although moderate Dems will have to buck their liberal leaders to support it.
I noticed that Mitchell referenced an unidentifed poll showing the flat tax as preferred by Americans. That is odd, since every poll that I have seen in the past few months has shown the FairTax leading, typically by margins of about 2-1. That begs the question of why that one poll was so different and why Dr. Mitchell considers it definitive, even though it apparently contradicts the vast majority of polls that are out there. For example, I think the CNBC poll that Kudlow did had a final tally of about 75% in favor of the FairTax.
