So, tell me again, why is incest illegal? Wouldn't it be better to keep the wealth within the family?

Only the product of incest would seek justification of it.

Aren't we all just {4 to 8} big happy families?

it's illegal because it's degrading. and keeping the company of those who have degraded themselves in our society, degrades all of us.
there used to be aristocratic families who were capable of understanding the risks and rewards associated with inbreeding. not so much anymore, but with genetic screening, artificial insemination, and CRISPER, the time will probably come again that it's not so much stigmatized as it is considered a special rarity for families of people who think in terms of centuries rather than an orgasm in the next ten minutes.
interestingly, the original reason given by the catholic church was that 'if you combine the love of a mating couple with the love of a brother and sister, they would be incapable of worshipping god because they'd be fucking 24/7'

because you end up with ugly sick goblins like the Irish in your family. Inbreeding is why they are so small, violent and ugly.

it wasn't created as a common practice amongst noble/aristocratic families for the fun of it. there are risks of birth defects, but also the possibility of strongly emphasizing some familial traits into a more defined speciation.
