This guy seems incredibly bitter, and his animosity toward Paul Graham makes no sense.
I'm one of those "exploited" young people, and here's the contract I follow. I'm willing to work long hours and be paid less than a 1/N share of the company's income, while the "elders" are paid more than 1/N. They have more experience than I do, and the differential in pay is my paying a mentorship fee in order to learn from them at work. If I were ever used as a garbage disposal for bottom-rung work, as happens to young people in places like investment banks, I'd be mighty pissed about not getting my half of the deal; but if I'm getting a top-quality education from the job, it doesn't matter that the boss makes more money than I do. I mean, in college, I paid the bosses.
