Power corrupts, when you're capable of doing this and go unpunished, you'll have people doing it.

Every government ever had and will have this problem.

What we should try to achieve in our society is to limit the power given to individuals on other people and allow each member of society to be free of centralised coercion. Nobody should have a monopoly on violence and nobody should be able to forcefully collect taxes from people and then go and wage a war on foreign people.

You can call it being anti-establishment, I call it being morally consistent with the idea of freedom which is so often touted in the USA.
