Britain doesn’t officially recognise polygamous marriages.
But it will happily pay for them.
This man has 3 wives and 11 children.
No job.
The wives live as one “family” socially and religiously, yet legally the additional wives are treated as single mothers for benefits purposes.
And the result is multiple housing claims, child benefit for every child, and universal credit top ups.
The more wives and kids, the bigger the payout.
Meanwhile the British taxpayer gets the bill.
This is a good example of welfare arbitrage.
The state refuses to recognise the marriage on paper, then subsidises the exact same arrangement with public money.
Incentives matter, and the system rewards having as many wives and children as possible, as long as you don’t work.
1 man. 3 wives. 11 kids. 0 contribution.
Guess who’s paying?

Incentives aren’t complicated.
We just ignore what ours are actually doing.
We tax speeders to stop speeding and cigarettes to stop smoking, yet we tax people who work and companies that make profits and subsidize those who don’t.
Then we act shocked when we get less work, less employment, fewer successful businesses, and more and more people on welfare.

‼ IPHONE-HOLICS
German MPs get on average 2.6 iPhones per year, paid for by the taxpayer.
43.5% of the iPhone purchases are made shortly before Christmas.
→ Could it be that German politicians get free iPhones for their friends and family … and the taxpayer funds this?
Or do they really need a new iPhone every 5 months?

BREAKING: US consumer credit fell -$182 million in May, the first monthly decline since November 2024.
This was significantly below expectations of a +$17.5 billion increase and followed a +$20.8 billion increase in April.
The decline was driven by revolving credit, which includes credit cards, plunging -$5.3 billion, the 2nd-largest monthly drop since November 2020.
This comes after a +$11.5 billion and +$10.7 billion increase in April and March.
At the same time, non-revolving credit, which includes auto and student loans, jumped +$5.1 billion, the smallest monthly increase since February.
Meanwhile, the average interest rate on credit cards rose to 22.15%, near the highest on record.
Is consumer borrowing reaching a tipping point?
