Why can't criminals be called "job creators" too?

I have often heard the justification for tax breaks being given to corporations and to people of high incomes with: "rich people create jobs." While it is true that multi-national corporations employ numerous people, we seem to have overlooked another source of employment: criminals. Criminals not only employ people, they also generate employment outside of the criminal sector thanks to their illegal acts.

A job creator before his incarceration and a job facilitator afterwards. Just ask the men who are paid to guard him!

How inactive would our judicial system be without criminals? Think of how redundant judges and prosecutors would become. What would happen to law enforcement? How many would not be able to pursue a career in that very field if it weren't for criminals? Think also of the prison industrial complex. Look at the growth of private prisons! They would not be able to thrive if it were not for criminals. Criminals, because of their acts, generate much-needed employment. The millions of judges, guards, police officers and attorneys can attest to this fact.

The man's a job creator; how can you not love him?

If one's validation comes from being a "job creator," then it is about time we pay tribute to our nation's criminals? Without them, several sectors of our working population would see themselves destitute. If the thieving CEO of a corporation can be excused with the justification of "he's a job creator," why not apply it to the shoplifter or the stick-up man? Without them, a whole sector (law enforcement) would find itself "made redundant."
