Short answer - yes.
Detailed answer - I would negotiate the price before agreeing to anything. Depending on how important that vote is for you, we could raise the amount quite significantly.

This would not only be bending my morals but my wife's as well. I cannot make that decision for the both of us. However, I don't think so.

You would have to offer me a lot more than 10 grand to kill a person. However, given the right price and the right reason, I believe I could do it. My only request would be to put a hood over his head. I'm squirmish, so the sight of a busted open head with brain matter out would haunt me for a while.

Probably, unless he could make me a better offer for pointing out the thief.

It would probably have to be many, many dollars, but sure.

I think that everything has a price. If not anything, then most things. It's a matter of exploiting the situation. If somebody's in a bender and needs money to avoid some very unpleasant consequences, morals will be bent far easier and probably for less.
Me? I like money. I like the idea of a "quick buck". I also have a very useful ability to tell my conscious to shut the hell up when I need it to. It doesn't always work, but the dollar signs might help matters.
