so I take it you don't have a mortgage or a family to support?

  It is actually possible to be an ethical person and pay the bills, it just takes a bit of effort.

  But that is a different argument with a different justification: "we knew it was unethical, but we needed the money (and couldn't really personally afford taking this stance today as we didn't have alternative ethical jobs lined up that could pay as much; <- implied) and so, on the balance, we are OK with our decision" is simply not the same as "someone else would have done it anyway, so we can feel OK that we did it ourselves".
