Pretty sure this is family farms and family business.

 

How many kids have you seen working in local restaurants and sandwich shops?

 

Do you have children, and have they worked, in any capacity, at your video shop?

 

Common sense.  Unfortunately what's necessary for families does get abused.  There's no way to satisfy both sides without placing a burden on the other.  Families should have exemption, others not.  But... that was likely the hanging point without anyone knowing more of the details of the proposal.
