> if you have a go, you will get a go

OT and I do understand the meaning, but as a matter of language isn’t this in the wrong order?

Yes, if you assume that both parts refer to the same “go.” But “have a go” here means something like “work hard and contribute to the economy.” It doesn’t refer to possessing the thing you “get” in exchange, ie. money.
