___ with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities__. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address

Does your flat tax impose a tax upon the wages which labor has earned?

No, it doesn't. Actually, the NRST is a lot closer to the way the Founding Fathers raised the majority of funds for the nation. The government was initially funded primarily thought excise taxes. The NRST is much closer to that than the income taxes.
