I agree with the gist of what you're saying, that the US is losing out on that valuable tax money.
However, I'd argue you're still a net gain for the US, because your work - the value derived from it - is very likely quite a lot more valuable than what you're charging for it. In tech, often worker input is worth several times what they're paid for it. You're making a valuable net contribution to the US economy.
Not as much of a net gain as it would be if you were here also paying taxes.
