Can we express the roots of all polynomials in terms of roots of some special polynomials?

We can describe the roots of quadratic equations in terms of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the square-root function $\sqrt a$ which computes a root of the special polynomial $x^2-a=0$. Similarly, the roots of cubic and quartic equations can be described with the aforementioned operations and the cube root $\root3\of a$.

In 1796, Bring found a method to express the roots of general quintic polynomials in terms of the aforementioned operations, the quintic root $\root5\of a$ and the bring radical $\mathop{\mathrm{Br}}(a)$ which computes a root of the special quintic polynomial $x^5+x+a$.

Can this scheme be extended? More specifically, can we express the roots of $n$-th degree polynomials in terms of roots of $r_q(a)$ of “special” polynomials of the form

$$r_q(a)=x_0\quad\hbox{such that }a+q_0+\sum_{k=1}^nq_kx^k=0?$$
