** It's just as hard to make money in the real Italian Mafia as it is in this game. In a real Mafia family, the bosses don't pay you to help them with their businesses (at least not regularly); ''you'' pay ''them'' to help you with yours. The Mafia is essentially a criminal guild that only provides protection and connections; every mobster has to have his own source of income and give a percentage of it back to the bosses for the privilege of that protection. This is reflected in-game by the fact that lower-ranked mobsters only get to keep a small percentage of everything they earn, despite being the ones who do everything and take all the risks. The difficulty in climbing rank is also very accurate to real life, as it's not unheard of for gangsters to spend 20 years as associates before getting made.
