How do I not get my but kicked in Mafia Wars?

So I been in Mafia Wars on MySpace for a while, I completed Everything until the new russia opened up, I got like 680 members 422 points on defense 252 on offense 'cause I don't really want to do alot of attacking, and I keep getting my butt kicked and my money taken even while i'm on the job earning it before I can bank it. I got like 185 for health 74 for stamina and 1353 for energy and i been putting it all for defense recently but still getting kicked. I've been buying the limited time offeres that give you extra attack and defense. Even when I use the collection boosts and bonuses it didn't help.
