I'm sure there are. Doesn't mean most people are like that. Consider retirees. Some find meaningful activities, many just rot away out of not having a purpose.
What percentage of people currently living off of welfare are doing meaningful work?

Do you have that number? Do you have any numbers to back up your claims or are you just talking about what works for you?
According to google: "Some reports indicate that 26.8% to 28.6% of households on welfare have earned income, which sometimes reflects a focus on households with no work-eligible adults (elderly, disabled)."
So no, then. Got it.
This is human nature, most of humans will revert to a baseline of doing the bare minimum to survive. The rest cannot support that system.
Do you do the bare minimum to survive, or do you have excess money left after paying rent and groceries?

Most of them, since the vast majority of "welfare" programs exclusively assist people who are in work.
