“The government has made it illegal for you to work for less than $15/hr. This is a complete violation of your rights.”

My proposal would allow for $10/hour wages under certain circumstances.

It has exceptions.

Are more exceptions needed? If so list and define.

What if the value of your labor is worth $9.50?

How is the employer compensated for that extra $0.50?

Is there some kind of exception for that?

I may have implied something magical about $15 but there is no floor price. It is your labor and time and it is up to you to set the exchange rate.
It is completely unethical to use compulsion to prevent someone from working - at any price - if they agree voluntarily to do the work.
