I don’t believe the Mormon families take welfare.

This article says that 35% of German Muslim families both polygamous & on welfare...meaning 65% weren't.

With the polygamous Mormons of Hildale & Colorado City, it's actually the exact reverse welfare-wise: 66% on welfare in Hildale...and 78% in Colorado City!!!!

LA Times: Shurtleff first went after the trust, working to break up the $150-million United Effort Plan. Through court action, he put it under the supervision of an outside administrator, removing eviction threats as an FLDS tool. His office also is looking into allegations of welfare fraud. Shurtleff said 66% of Hildale residents and 78% in Colorado City received welfare, usually food stamps.

So please speak based upon reality or reports, not baseless conjectures...

Thanks for the correction. I believe I said “I believe”, seeking clarification.
