Quote by Iain Duncan Smith

A system that was originally designed to support the poorest in society is now trapping them in the very condition it was supposed to alleviate.

A system that was originally designed to support the poorest

Summary

This quote highlights that the intended purpose of a social system, which was initially aimed at providing assistance to the poorest members of society, has now become a source of entrapment for them. Instead of improving their conditions, the system has inadvertently created a cycle where individuals are unable to escape poverty and its associated struggles. This suggests a failure or unintended consequence of the system, signaling the need for reassessment and potential reforms to truly fulfill its original intention of alleviating poverty.
