The Case for Polygamy

I work in a rather large business. Many of the women who work there are single mothers. Most of them tell me that they married the father of their children, but then got divorced because he turned out to be a jerk. The reasons are many, drugs, alcohol, violence, philandery, etc.

The point I want to make is that there are lots of good women looking for a good man and that there are not enough good men to available.

I am sure that many women, especially those stuck being single mothers would happily enter into a loving polygamous marriage to ease their economic and child raising burden with a husband and one or more other wives.

Which is better? A woman having burden of raising and supporting children on her own and requiring government assistance or her joining a polygamous marriage that is economically and emotionally self sufficient?

Government officials and the clergy want single mothers, because single mothers come to them for help. They don't want self sufficient family units.
