There seems to be some conflicting definitions of the word "Income".

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...ition&ct=title

the financial gain (earned or unearned) accruing over a given period of time
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
--------------------------------------------------
(Earned or Unearned)????

Excess of revenues over expenses.

--------------------------------------------------
Excess revenues?

Inflow of revenue during a period of time. (See net income.)

--------------------------------------------------
Inflow of "revenue"? (#1 Definition of "Revenue" defined on Dictionary.com as: the income of a government from taxation, excise duties, customs, or other sources, appropriated to the payment of the public expenses.) ~ Income of a government???

a gain in money usually as a result of business or labor
http://www.cce.cornell.edu/washingto.../Glossary.html
--------------------------------------------------
A "Gain" in money.

And some other definitions that just don't seem to have a solid definition that clearly define what the word actually means.

What is your take on this?
