Patriots, you're being robbed at the car dealership – and it's not just inflation. While the rest of the world enjoys access to affordable vehicles, Americans are trapped in a rigged system that forces families to pay premium prices for basic transportation.

Here's the smoking gun: Chinese automaker BYD has now surpassed Tesla in global electric vehicle sales, yet Americans can't buy a single BYD vehicle. Why? Because our bloated regulatory state and corporate cronies have created a fortress around the U.S. auto market.

The Global Car Menu Americans Can't Order From

Automotive analyst Karl Brauer recently exposed this scam on "The Drive" podcast, revealing how the so-called "global" auto industry is anything but global when it comes to American consumers. While we're told we live in a free market, families across America are paying double what consumers in other countries pay for similar vehicles.

Think about it – if BYD can outsell Tesla worldwide, shouldn't American families have the choice to buy these more affordable options? Instead, we're stuck with overpriced vehicles loaded with government-mandated features that jack up costs.

"The auto industry is marketed as global — same brands, same badges, same hype. It's easy to assume we're all shopping from the same menu. We're not," automotive experts revealed.

This isn't just about electric vehicles, folks. Across the board, Americans face artificially inflated car prices thanks to protectionist policies that benefit big corporations at the expense of working families.

Trump's America First vs. Corporate Cronyism

Now here's where it gets interesting. President Trump's America First agenda supports American manufacturing – but it also believes in actual competition that benefits consumers, not rigged markets that screw over hardworking families.

The question every American should be asking: Why are we locked out of affordable transportation options available everywhere else in the world? And which politicians are getting rich keeping it that way?

It's time to drain the swamp in Detroit too, Patriots. American families deserve choices, not corporate monopolies disguised as "safety regulations."

My son just graduated college and can't even afford a decent used car thanks to these policies. Something needs to change.

Same situation with my grandson. These kids are getting crushed by government overreach.

This is exhibit A for why deregulation works! Let Americans choose what they want to drive instead of forcing expensive 'features' nobody asked for.

BOOM! This is the kind of reporting we need more of - exposing how Big Government is picking our pockets.

I import classic cars as a hobby and the hoops you have to jump through are insane. Meanwhile people can't afford reliable transportation because of government interference.

Finally someone is talking about this! I've been saying for years that the regulatory stranglehold is killing affordability for working families.

Exactly right Mike. My fleet costs have tripled in the last decade thanks to all these mandates.

Can someone explain why a basic Toyota Corolla costs $25K here but the same car is under $15K in other countries? This doesn't make sense.

It's all the safety regulations, emissions standards, and import tariffs that get tacked on. Plus dealer markup requirements.

This is what happens when bureaucrats decide what's 'best' for consumers instead of letting the free market work. Remove the barriers and watch prices drop overnight.
