I do not believe you can honestly judge the percentage who do it by choice, or who want to change anything.
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.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
