Not that you don’t have a point of sorts, but such a simplistic consideration of taxation seems dangerous to me.
There are many theoretical possibilities left unconsidered including some obvious ones, such as fewer EU users of the American services, which is a reasonable goal in many ways, including the interest of the citizens.
Also, not sure where you think tax money goes but, when a government is maintained to some extent by a concerned populace, taxation serves the collective interests of a society.

All I’m saying is the targeting here is obviously political and designed to hurt the American companies. The result will be that the EU receives more tax revenue, but it won’t being coming out of Google and Facebooks’ collective pockets.
