That's not even close to comparable. You vote for elected officials to pass bills that are attempted and sometimes failed. And often failed projects produce things of value to society so I'm not sure how you would factor that in, for example if you'd like a refund on the Challenger explosion. You don't vote for criminals to take your money.

True, although also, criminals buy things and pay VAT.

I vote for elected officials who pass bills (if I were American) that allow/disallow criminal activity.
