I know far too many people who've determined they can make more on welfare or disability than they could at a minimum wage job and choose to stay at home and avoid being a contributing member of society. There are people from both camps, which side is the larger is virtually impossible to assess, but I can tell you the longer someone remains on wellfare, the more likely it is by choice, not cruel circumstance. It was meant to be a net to catch someone until they can pick themselves back up and move on, not a lifestyle.
At the same time you or west can't say that most people that are there for multiple years that is there is there because they want to.
