days with rising inequality and low wages in the us being a pressing issue many researchers and activists are documented wages are falling cutting benefits for people taking away their pensions there is evidence of a different form of disobedience now taking place all over the country made by paid to the papers there are no statement making a right this is laughable the researchers call it economic descent and they don't see it because it's going on underground. and poor neighborhoods in new york city some residents organized to raise a little money to buy subway cards offering unlimited rides they swipe as many people in his they can to give them a free ride if you were resisting fare hikes were resisting their cost of living is going up in so many ways for all the one of the activists who organizes this form of disobedience most importantly it's in response to an economic system he sees as

unfair and taxes are being cut for wealthy people and their bailouts for banks from wall street to another of the richest people in this neighborhood so we just think that's wrong an american sociologist found the subversion of the system going on all over the country but she found these acts among business managers in the middle class helping out their employees but really were about the fact that wages for some of these were managers who felt as though the people working for them doing their jobs being responsible were still unable to take care of their families she found grocery store managers sending bags of food home with were. hers fast food managers padding paychecks with overtime wages she also found most of these managers believe breaking the rules is wrong but these people were saying that there are much bigger problems and ignoring the fact that people who are working very hard for you are unable to feed their children in the minds of some people at

least what has become a bigger room in their eyes it's a bigger wrong people are breaking the rules to make right whether it's in all these low income new york neighborhood neighborhood people who don't really have much of a political voice or whether it's behind the closed office doors of the middle class breaking the rules because of the economic imbalance in the country and what seems in america to be the rising disobedience of modern day there are going to bail us out this is what will do to ourselves lauren lyster our to new york and you're watching r t coming to live from moscow still a lot coming up in the program including drew dishes or ability. to lawyers complain to the restaurant even in prison. for charges if we are details but just a t.v. . and a look at accusations in india that some people are making

demotion in duty and to the command of you ass and made to our forces in afghanistan as the four star general of the thief start to general patrols would also promote the image status and legitimacy of his foes in afghanistan and in pakistan. and their pakistani and afghan associates now the third venue to take would be to ask general petroski what he thinks about these type of recumbent days since to give him a defeat star i bet my bottom dollar that this is not on his top priority least because for general petraeus the number one priority should be and i hope it will be this year is to zero in on their real challenge him on declaring war off against their afghan people and its neighbors that is the real challenge the an

undeclared war that the u.s. congress has yet to officially endorse before considering to make the first you as general a thief star commander on the theory that off operations it could be only petroski whether the four star or otherwise who can really pull all of this straight and i wish him well to make this mission accomplished and to get the job done. if they are now the u.s. would like to present to ghana stand as a country getting off its knees but after a long spell of occupation and war corruption is taking a heavy toll watch a special report on where american money intended for of data stand really goes in about fifteen minutes time here on r.t. . repairing a broken. construction and humanitarian aid. officials get the spoils of war it's the people who paid the price. is no
