The the predominately polygamist community of Colorado City for example, welfare cases are 5 times the national average. "What happens is a man marries one wife, she's his legal wife, then he marries ten other wives in the church, and all the other wives are, by law, single women, so they have all these children with him, and they all get welfare." The more kids the larger the welfare check. Large lavish homes are built to house these families. They don't work, you get to foot he bill. Joy!
Go to south Phily and the amount of people on welfare will be probably 20 times of national average. Are these people getting any more in welfare because they are polygamist or are they getting the same amount that is allowed to any resident of Colorado? If it is the same amount then the discussion should be about the welfare system and not polygamy, don't you think so? It is easy to solve this problem if people are worried about money, legalize polygamy and they will be considered married women and won't qualify for welfare.
