Should polygamy become legal, people would marry multiple spouses for extra income and/or tax considerations. It would completely decimate the tax system. Don't believe me? Just look at the millions of parents who have children for the tax breaks.
In a recent thread about stay-at-home mothers, one of the arguments was that it takes 2 incomes to support a family. Polygamy allows 2 incomes AND a stay-at-home parent.
Also, not all polygamous relationships involve one man with multiple wives. It also involves a woman with more than one husband or even multiples of both men & women.
Why should the gov't decide which is to be given special benefits and which should not?
