:get it however you can, and always go for more

MIAMI, 1989. A world of sin and neon, where drugs and cash flow in and out like the tide. Jack Cash is Miami's finest detective, but even the best may not be good enough to handle the wave of evil that threatens to swamp the city. MIAMI, 2013. The players have changed, but the game's the same. Power and money:get it however you can, and always go for more.

I'd like to know the structure of the underlined, bold clause "get it however you can, and always go for more."

Thank you in advance for your help.

"get" and "go" are imperatives. "go for" is idiomatic, meaning "attempt (to obtain something)". get (obtain) it (= power and money) in whatever way you can, and always try to get more (power and money)

  • "get" and "go" are imperatives.
