Justified or not, that's the way it works.  Were it to work any
differently wouldn't world governments stop doing it the bad old unfair
way?  

Sure, in our dreams.  

We must make the best of a bad situation and any
time a government is involved it is already a bad situation.  

Remember what US Pres. Ronald Reagan said about the nine words which are
the scariest in the world: "I'm from the government and I'm here to
help."
