" The point is that any money spent by the government towards rescuing others from actions they voluntarily took for their own personal benefit is a misappropriation."

I am not so sure about that. In every jurisdiction in which I have lived for the last several years, LE agencies, most prominently the county sheriff in the case of rural settings, are explicitly charged with resolving emergency situations and saving lives. Other organizations do the same. Consider the urban firefighter who will enter the burning building to rescue the victim, who may well have started the fire through some careless or negligent act.

My career employer, the National Park Service, puts saving lives as its first priority, usually expressed this way - other than saving lives, suppressing fires is our most important job.

I am comfortable living in, and supporting, through taxes and other means, a society that functions in this manner.
