エネルギー巨人に課税し、燃料手形を切りなさい

土曜日、2008年8月2日
RINFのフォーラムでこのレポートを論議しなさい >

株式会社は私達の燃料価格が20%に上がる間、十億を、書く作る Sadieロビンソン

何百万の英本国を渡る人々は急上昇した世帯エネルギー手形と戦っている。 政府はオイルの課税によって苦痛を楽にするために機能でき、ガスは固まる、または価格に限界を課すことは上がる。 その代りそれは利益に害を与える何でもすることを断る。

EDFエネルギーは-ガスのための22%および電気のための17%…価格を先週再度引き上げた。 平均EDFで顧客は33%上の彼らの手形の上昇を年が始まって以来に見た。 イギリスのガスの顧客は2003年以来の74% 77%のおよび電気手形によって彼らのガス代の上昇を見た。

これらのエネルギー会社は価格を引き上げるために費用の高騰がそれらを強制していることを主張する。 しかし実際はそれらは利益で熊手に弁解として上昇の物価を使用している。

年の最初の6か月の利益が£6.7十億に23%増加したことをこの週オイル巨人BPは報告した。

イギリスのガスは、のために木曜日の利益を発表しなさい期待する、£100および£200百万間のの利益を。 2007年にそれは下劣な500%利益を後押しするために価格を引き上げた。

Centricaのイギリスのガスの親会社は、今年の前半のための£880百万の税引前利益を発表すると期待する。

英本国の4.5百万人上のこれらの豊かさへの鋭い対照では、既に「燃料窮乏」の-エネルギーに彼らの収入の10%以上使うことに住んでいる。 この図はぐらつく50%上がるためにエネルギー会社が価格を引き上げ続けると同時に置かれる。

普通の人々はまた価格の上昇の上にとどまるために上昇の負債にちょうど直面する。 英本国のおよそ6.8百万世帯は彼らのエネルギー製造者に負債にある。 総個人的な負債は£1百万の平均今5分毎に上がっている。

夏の高さである来る冬をいかにを存続させるか既に人々は心配している。

燃料の窮乏は英本国の20,000のそして50,000人間のの死を毎冬もたらす。 3人の年金者に付き1人に世帯は燃料の窮乏にあると年末までに期待される。

Centrica’s managing director Jake Ulrich – who receives a salary of £1,033,000 a year – admits that fuel price rises are “going to hit people hard”. Fortunately he has advice for how people can soften the blow – they should wear “two jumpers instead of one”.

The bosses and the government are completely removed from the reality of life for ordinary people.

The government votes to keep lavish expenses for MPs – but it refuses to implement even the most minor measures that could limit the hardship faced by ordinary people.

The parliamentary business and enterprise committee has investigated the energy market in light of the current crisis.

But its conclusion is that the market is not functioning efficiently enough and that we need more “liberalisation”.

In the face of the massive political crisis that Gordon Brown now faces, some argue that he is simply a victim of a global economic recession that is pushing up the cost of living.

The massive unpopularity of New Labour following the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and its constant neoliberal attacks on working people is conveniently forgotten. Brown is portrayed as powerless in the face of the global economy.

Response

It is true that energy and food price rises are fuelling anger with the government. But what people are really angry about is the government’s response.

Brown is not powerless. There are many things he could do to ease the burden on working class people. He could implement a windfall tax on the energy companies. He could increase corporation tax. He could impose a limit on the amount that firms can raise energy prices.

But instead of this New Labour has repeatedly cut corporation tax, which currently stands at just 28 percent.

The People Before Profit Charter puts forward demands that would stop ordinary people sinking deeper into poverty.

As well as the demands to tax corporate profits, the charter calls for an end to Brown’s 2 percent pay limit on public sector workers, the abolition of tax on fuel and energy for old people and the poor, and the restoration of the link between state pensions and average earnings.

New Labour is doing none of these things because it defends the interests of the rich and business.

Making sure that workers don’t pay for the crisis means building resistance on the ground. The People Before Profit Charter can help mobilise that resistance.
