Answer to Question 1

The Haig-Simons definition of income is the dollar value of the maximum amount that one can consume over a given period of time without reducing the value of one's wealth. There are some practical problems in implementing it. First, it is not always clear what the value of an asset is until it is sold in a market. Second, if implemented fully, someone might have to sell an asset in order to pay the taxes due on the asset. This might be considered to be unfair on equity grounds.

Answer to Question 2
