If you really fall flat on your ass, yes you should get help. But if you have no desire to lift a finger, then society should not be taking care of you. And if you come to this country to go on welfare, unless you are facing persecution and are a genuine refugee, then you really have no business being here.
Which is exactly what welfare is: Median time spent collecting benefits is 19 months.
