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.

Who says taxation is involuntary? In order to live with all the luxuries society gives (like, uh, police protecting your property from others) you have to pay taxes. You can live as a hermit in some out of the way mountains if you prefer, but most of us will pay taxes since it is done for our own sake, not for anyone else's.
That said I think we have a lot of unnecessary taxes.
