99 Percent Solution?
Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED
Hundreds descended on the Merchants Exchange Building in San Francisco Tuesday, where the annual Wells Fargo shareholders' meeting was held.
The Wells Fargo shareholders' meeting in San Francisco was the site of a demonstration this week, with hundreds of activists calling out issues of executive pay, tax rates and foreclosure policies. But the protest was significant for another reason: it was the debut of "99% Power," a nascent coalition of various local and national groups hoping to inspire a nation into political action. How does this new group differ from the Occupy movement?
Host: Michael Krasny
