Well no. You make people pay tax to fund it in their own lifetimes - or at worst raise inheritance tax / adjust thresholds to claim it back at the end.
The myth you can have quality public services and a low tax economy is just that. Everyone is a capitalist until it comes to social care and they don’t want to pay.
