Business
From The Common People
- We will establish a "Public Utility" category of business, for which we will prohibit the distribution of dividend payments. These are businesses which provide essential services to the public.
- These essential services include the generation, distribution and supply of piped water, power, electronic communications infrastructure and public transport.
- Money paid by private households to this essential and unavoidable category of business is for maintenance, improvement, operating costs and taxation. It is not paid to be siphoned off for the enrichment of shareholders.
