Bob knows Carol has a drug addiction. He sells Carol crack cocaine anyway. He has no guilt because the existence of a market for drugs means its ok, after all, Ted isn't harmed until Carol steals his tv to buy more crack.
People are not machines, we are members of a community and just because someone will pay you to do something doesn't mean you should.
