I disagree. Here's why:
It's our Nepali culture back home "Everybody else does it, why not me?" that has made our culture synonymous with corruption and bribes. Think about it. We have NO principles on those matters. The excuses why they do it are infinite but in the end is it really healthy for our society? It's not like you're dying, you already said you make 14-15 dollars. Just because some other "CHOOR running in their blood" Nepali did it, does that make you so weak to break your basic principle "We should NOT steal". Just think if they are so desperate to steal even after coimg to the US, what would they do had they been back in Nepal? Given a descent opportunity to make a living, these people are simply greedy. I personally believe you're a better person not  doing that and in fact seeding an example for the coming generation, esp your kids. Choor politicians have Choor sons/daughters and relatives in Nepali. It's what they have learnt from their blood and their influence. It is a never ending cycle of generations who think CHOORI is OK, it is the MOST neglected, avoided and least talked about issue in our culture which effects country dearly, in fact more than we realise. At the mean time, atleast you can sleep better knowing that you're NOT selling your soul. Think about it.
Again, it's just my 2 cents, many will disagree.
