Is corruption in the government OK if they improve the lives of the people???

BangkokPost.com) – Thai people's sense of moral values seem to be taking a nosedive, according to the latest Abac poll from Assumption University.
The survey revealed that more than half of respondents would be willing to put up with corruption within the next government if it means their livelihood will be improved.
About 50 percent of them would consider engaging in a corrupt activity if they considered it was "necessary" to do so while more than 82 percent said they wouldn't think twice about committing a dishonest act if it meant that they would be missing out on an opportunity.
The survey also concluded that those with an elementary school education had higher morals than those with a university degree or higher.

I do love this country, but they do have a point, and its because the ones who are corrupt tend to donate more money and assitance and in general just improve the lives of the people, now this is of course only in Thailand, where most people from Bangkok dislike corruption, but its where most of it happens, the majority of the people cant even afford proper education or health so how is it possible for them to bribe any one, its only the rich living in bangkok that actually have the means to corrupt and in turn be corrupt
