Best Answer

No.

briefly

Taoism- following nature

Confucianism- following justice and do all things for the benefit of others

Taoism- no government- it disturbs nature

Confucianism- government is needed to create laws that benefit the people

Taoism- focus on ones inner nature, said to come from the incomprehensible and nameless flow of nature (called Tao) from which all things come and return

Confucianism- focus on righteousness for the sake of righteousness

There is so much difference in these writings. Best thing would be to read the writings to see for yourself- The Tao Te Ching is one of the most popular sacred texts ever written (besides the bible), and the Analects of Confucius are writings by Confucius dealing with all his ideas (hard to read, but worthwhile). Some translations are easier than others- I only began to understand a tiny bit after reading multiple translations (particularly of the Tao te ching).
