I have sometimes made 2000 gold per turn.

You need to finish your science first, or at least discover everything you want to.
Then switch to Fundamentalism. Put your luxeries to 50% and your science to 0% and your tax to 50%.

You will, in a couple of turns find that you've got a bit more profit! Probably not 2000 per turn but maybe 200 - 500. Lots of cities helps more!!

Hope that helped.

Under a democracy with the right happiness improvements then it is easy to get over 2,000g per turn on 100% tax, and a couple of turns of this can pay for about 10 of 100% science.
It is vital to be in a democracy to get the best trade bonus cash. If you search these forums under the poster name "starlifter" then you will find pages and pages of useful advice on how to manage your trade routes with caravans and freight. Remember that a city from your civ demanding the freight's cargo is worth as much as, often more, than a foreign city that doesn't demand it. Build all the trade improvements: marketplace, bank, stock exchange, harbour and airport and get railroad links between your trading cities and the delivery bonuses will shoot up.
