I would not say it is MY responsibility to pay to dig them out though. Except indirectly as I purchase goods made from whatever they were digging for... which that money ends up going to their employer, which should be responsible for rescuing their employees.

Making the gov't pay for it just encourages employers to send people into mines they know are unsafe because if something happens they would not be the ones footing the bill.



Is hard to put a concept to you, letīs change to a situation where kids get stuck in a cave while exploring a forest... OMG smile. Or for example 9/11 tragedy where people where stuck at debris and would tooooo expensive to save them, would you accept the "State" saying would be too expensive, why iīm asking this, i know your anwser because in your view, you are a indivudalist :), and you would answer is their responsability to put in that situation.
