Due to technical difficulties we had recording this week’s show, we are unable to bring you a new episode of the Radio Hour.  So instead we present an encore edition of a show we recorded in April, which seems even more relevant today.  It features third party advocate Jonathan Martin and Pulitzer Prize winning author and tax expert David Cay Johnston. This week, Warren Buffet called upon Donald Trump to release his tax returns, and David Cay Johnston will tell us why that is not likely and even if Trump did what we would expect to see.  And now that both the Democratic and Republican national conventions are over, some disaffected people are turning to third party candidates like Jill Stein of the Green Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian party.  Professor Jonathan Martin will tell us the important role of third parties in American politics over the years.  We will be back next week with a brand new episode of the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.  In the meantime enjoy this encore presentation.
