Lift gets more money (5)
I believe the answer is:
raise
I believe this is a double definition.
'lift' is the first definition.
(I know that lift can be written as raise)
'more money' is the second definition.
(as in an increase in wages at work)
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for raise that I've seen before include "To promote" , "Collect - increase in pay" , "What a poker player might do" , "jack up" , "More money from America" .)
