You are certainly a worse person for taking the money. But how much worse? The computer you typed your post on was built on the backs of thousands of exploited people. The food and materials you use every day have ravaged millions of acres of Earth, including the wildlife that used to live there. The society that supports your life runs on completely senseless, endless war. Millions hurt and dead just so you can have sugary cereal in the morning. All that stuff is FAR worse than the $10k, and you've been enjoying it for decades with no problem.
Have you seriously never thought about this before? You think you ended up where you are today, richest country in the world, without a single blemish on your soul. But now that you've taken $10,000 from a $1,500,000,000,000 government, you're a bad person. Even children are more introspective than this.
