Communism and Captialism are equal

I came to this realization of this by deconstructing the ideas of Socialism. I came to the conclusion that both can be bad or good, but it depends on who's hands it is in. If the person who is head of a company or a head of nation cares about people, and not power, then the little man will be happy.If the person wants power, than the little man will suffer. This is true in either cases of government.

When people pay according to consumption people consume more economically. For example, a mile of road may be paid for in taxes, but everyone will use that mile of road at will with no cost-benefit analysis because the road is "free". If people had to pay for using things presently given away for free, they would use less, which would lower the maintenence costs and result in us being better off. And the government doesn't tax according to consumption, it taxes according to income, value of assets, spending, and other things which have little to do with the actual use of state resources. Thus, people are motivated to consume as much of the state-provided resources as possible, since reducing their use of the resources will not reduce their payment by any substantial amount.
