You are making Henry Ford as Hero
Henry Ford was a hero.
He is credited with inventing mass production and the franchised dealer system. His factories created a new economic model that lifted the working classes out of poverty. He created affordable autos for all. He was a lifelong advocate for peace, yet his vehicle, armament and aircraft plants did more than any others to win World War II.
And he left almost all his wealth to a charitable foundation.
Yes, he had personal flaws. (You can read all about them on Wikipedia.) But we could use more of his kind of leadership today.
