Foot the bill for what exactly? I would think not, since on any government form you would only be allowed to list one spouse. To admit to having more than one spouse would be foolish, as it is, I believe, illegal. (bigamy?)

I read the wives collect welfare. darroll Posted: Apr 10, 08 5:48pmDo polygamists count on the American taxpayer to foot the bill?... yes that is my understanding. The best I can figure is that whatever they do to have a marriage ceremony apparently is not something that is documented at tax time or filed legally and thus the additional spouses' children can claim benefits and from the little I have heard it is a very very large amount of taxpayer dollars. |  ADVERTISEMENT  |
