Again, this is the benefit & motive for becoming a made man: cut your teeth & gruel it out for years & years, until you're ready to be made & receive a crew of soldiers that will do the dirty work in your name & pay tribute to you. Dunno what is so difficult to understand about this.

The soldiers pay tax out of respect & honour. These are guys That Have been following guys like Albie & Spina around like sheep since they were teenagers.

The Grand Avenue Crew is obviously still capable of violence. Panozzo & Koroluk were kicking in people's doors & beating them down. That's the Outfit, Panozzo & Koroluk. These are their soldiers in 2014. Albie Vena & Pete Difronzo (insert long time made man here) aren't going to be doing street work anymore.

Not to mention cutting people's ears off.
