Petition to African Presidents
Call: suspend energy tax
Call: suspend energy tax
The high prices of energy and gasoline have critical affects on cost-of-living increases in our daily lives... Inflation is hitting families hard, especially wage-earners and the elderly.
People are getting ridiculously high new energy bills, and many businesses are in danger of closing.
The whole world is in crisis. Africa is in crisis. We must take action before it’s too late!
We can't expect the government to solve all African problems for us but what we can expect from our politicians is that they stop making money on energy taxes on top of the already sky-high energy prices.
Families are taxed enough. Therefore, we now call for the next, much-needed crisis measure: temporarily suspend ALL taxes that currently make already ridiculously high energy bills even higher.
There is a deteriorating cost of living crisis in Australia as households and businesses were left in a spin last week when the government forecasted electricity and gas prices would surge by 50 and 40 per cent respectively in the next two years.
The government must plan some form of intervention in the energy market to bring prices down in the coming months.
Bakers, restaurants, small business owners are just some who are at risk from the severe problems of rising energy prices, resulting not only from the war in Ukraine but also from longstanding policies of our governments and LEFTIST governments worldwide.
The rush to eliminate carbon producing fuels led to much less investment in new oil and gas production than before.Even nuclear power was not seen as "green" enough, and we still cannot generate enough energy using only solar and wind.
Sky-high bills, rising grocery costs, increasing rents, and unreasonable gas costs are all adding up to an impossible situation for many of us. We are amidst a wildly slippery slope of high energy taxes, inflation, and general impoverishment with dramatic consequences for our future if we don’t say ENOUGH!
The situation is unsustainable.
Therefore, if only as a sign of solidarity, it would be appropriate for governments to stop levying taxes on energy for the duration of this crisis.
Now is the time to act.
From CitizenGO, we will do whatever it takes to protect the citizens and demand that our elected representatives do their jobs without delay—from demanding the immediate suspension of the energy taxes to flooding their offices with phone calls and organizing massive concentrations and deliveries of signatures around the world.
We want to stop the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people who can't make ends meet due to the insufferable combination of high energy taxes and petrol, inflation, and the general increase in the cost of living.
