Step in and stop these ridiculous, unaffordable living costs

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Goverment to step in and do something about this crazy overpriced cost of living. Its getting beyond manageable for most people. Everything around us keeps increasing in price yet wages never go up at the rate as the cost of living does.

Something needs to change. A few complaints to the energy companies or fuel companies will not change anything. We need strength in numbers to force the change and make this world liveable. Having the basic amenities to live should not cost you the earth on a monthly basis. There is not much in this world right now that is bringing joy so to have to pay over the odds to be in our homes now to be warm or watch tv or travel to work to earn money to pay your gas or electric bill is crazy.
