Forgive me...how is this different than taxes?

And wouldn't it be better to oh, I don't know, enforce the standard corporate tax rate?

Corruption is worse than taxes, because it's unfair. Now the government has an incentive to hurt AMD and free competition.

The distorts incentives and destroys the free market.
