He overcharges.
Created a mini monopoly.
Sends jobs and money overseas.
Not one hair of philanthropy on his body.
And created the preferred products of self proclaimed liberals.
How can you not laugh at that? The guy was a genius. Leading pigs to the slaughterhouse while they happily trot along.

Rockefeller created a monopoly by using thugs and coercion. Jobs built a better product. I believe you just bought an Apple product and there were other options at the time? Kerosine was not sold that way. You sold in your territory which used "security" to keep out competition. Very different business models.
