Henry Ford invented mass production (not the assembly line).
Bill Gates invented . . . nothing.
HF paid his employees MORE than the going rate.
BG . . . nope!
HF was a bigot.
BG probably isn't.
HF was a philanthropist.
BG is a philanthropist.
HF never had a monopoly.
BG did.
HF made friends with Edison, Firestone and other great INVENTORS.
BG bought up small companies and incorporated their work - calling it innovation.
HF's company has lasted over 100 years.
BG's company probably wont.
HF's company has a $20bil capitalization.
BG's company makes that much profit in less than a year.

Just for fun:
