Is there some kind of tax rule I missed where tax discounts are linked to other economic indicators? If I reduce unemployment, or reduce pollution, or plan a tree on a roundabout, or whatever, do I get some discount on my corporate tax?

and this isn't just about 1 or 2 man bands or little startups, whatever. This should apply to any company of any size. Apple, MS, Google, etc. are massive and get massive tax discounts, and I understand why, but if they get a discount on the basis of some special thing they do, this should be on the basis of a public formula that is applicable to all companies.
