screaming and yelling about a few years ago is more painfully more true now more than half of all u.s. wage earners made less than thirty thousand dollars last year this as millions more are sliding down the economic ladder below the poverty line tonight let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on earth no one who works full time should have to live in poverty and raise the federal minimum wage to nine dollars an hour. months after u.s. president barack obama made his promise. yet fast food workers in more than one hundred u.s. cities have been taking to the streets pleading for an increase in the minimum wage at seven twenty five a pace so low the majority who earn it are forced to rely on government assistance like food stamps to make ends meet the bottom line is that wages have gone up united states in forty years the middle class has been disassembled and this is increasingly a country that has a standard for a third world or developing cut. the distribution of income it's a winner take all society and if you don't win taking it all means taking it from you to make matters worse this

u.s. government waged an all out war on the gangsters who ran the illegal liquor trade, some of them would end up in federal prison and eventually a few of them would be sent to the national's newest and most forbidding prison, alcatraz. bob mackenzie brought us this look back at the island prison and the men who served time there. >> alcatraz from its beginning as a prison in 1934 was rightly called the rock. a place designed to isolate and punish. to grind men down. to provide what people in the system called hard time. and the men who did the time were hard cases. armed robbers, gangsters, killers. men such as machine gun kelly, arbin carpas. al capon. this is d block, the isolation wing of alcatraz. just imagine being in one of these cells 24 hours a day, fed three times a day through a slot in the door. no books, no magazines, no radio. all your mail heavily censored. no contact with the outside world and if you were here between 1934 and 1937 you weren't even allowed to talk. >>> what made the time harder was that san francisco was tantalizingly near. convicts could smell the chocola

u.s. attorney's office said she not only paid her housekeeper a substandard wage but lied about it to the ay she made the woman sign a secret contract, quoting her wages at far below the minimum wage, and removed any language that would protect the worker from exploitation and abuse. her attorney has said the second contract instead guaranteed that a portion of the salary would be sent to the worker's husband in new delhi. the u.s. attorney claims that the indian government sought to retaliate against the victim once she took her case to u.s. authorities. starting a legal process against her, with her family back in india reportedly confronted in numerous ways regarding this case, making it necessary for the u.s. government to evacuate her family and bring them here. no wonder there are so few reported cases of human trafficking and worker abuse despite how common it has become among foreign diplomats here in the united states. the government accountability office looked into this issue in 2008, found more than 42 domestic workers alleged that they were abused by their former diplomat empl

she said that the housekeeper was going to receive a fair wage under u.s.nd that she was only going to work 40 hours per week. now, on the application, she says the housekeeper is going to make $4500 a month, in fact, the woman made significantly less, according to criminal complaint, instead of the minimum wage of $9.75 here in new york, she got a third of that just over $3 an hour working very long hours, not the 40-hour week, but according to what we're hearing, she worked twice that long. now, she was arrested after taking her daughter to school and then she was processed by the u.s. marshal's office. once she entered the system, she was strip searched, that is procedure, and then she was put in general population. india clearly very upset over this, but this comes after a five-month long investigation by the u.s. attorney's office here in the southern district as well as the state department. wolf? >> what's the u.s. response to india's outrage and there's huge outrage in india right now. >> well, there's huge outrage, but the united states is basicall
