...we're targeting the folks who are playing by the rules,"

I hear that phrase from democrats all the time. Still trying to figure out what it means.

Playing by the rules is not a “Democrat” phrase

It comes from the traditional way of doing things via the American Dream.

Work hard, sacrifice, save, pay your bills, buy a home, then pay for it.

The rules in that are: No one owes you a thing in this life. If you want it, work for it. etc.
