How about the government just finds a way to make do? On the other hand most of us would like (for example) a functioning NHS. That needs good people, good facilities, and the tax revenues to pay for both. There is a real and imminent danger that our whole public health system could collapse due to a mass exodus of skilled professionals who decide they've had enough. Arguably some parts of it already have. Behind the headlines about Ukraine and COVID and Brexit and so on are numerous mostly overlooked yet very significant problems within our society and economy. Many of those problems are only going to get worse and by extension more expensive to eventually fix if they aren't dealt with soon enough. If we're going to prevent those things from happening in the next few years then a lot of us are going to have to pay for it (whoever is leading the government for the next two years or after the next general election). Hopefully the less well-off who are already struggling will be looked after and the burden will fall on the better-off demographics. Of course most people don't want to pay more tax but I suspect many of those who could afford to do so without suffering too much would prefer that to the alternative of literally watching a family member die because there was no ambulance available when they called 999 in a medical emergency!
