Are you suggesting that Apple, by selling products in foreign territories and profiting from this, are somehow stealing from the US Government? IMHO, that is backwards. The USA have absolutely no entitlement to money any business (or for that matter, any individual) makes outside of it's borders.

Reading about this issue, it seems like the mentality of the Senators is that the money belongs to them, and Apple is keeping it away from them.
This mentality is also common among thieves, who rationalize their thefts by believing they are taking things that they are somehow owed.
I see your point, but isn't it also common among those from whom the thieves have stolen?
