Cap profits at 10% of revenues for essential goods and services

Petition Details

Amid the cost of living crisis some energy, water, and food companies are making profits. I think a profit cap would ensure fair pricing. I propose limiting profits to 10% of total revenue, balancing affordability for consumers with sustainable business practices.

Additional Information

The cost of living crisis may push some households into financial hardship, while some essential service providers are making profits. I think the government must act to ensure fair pricing by capping profits at 10% of total revenue. I think this would prevent excessive charges on necessities like energy, water, and food, ensuring affordability while allowing businesses to operate sustainably. I think a fair profit cap would promotes economic stability and protects consumers from exploitation.
