    Interesante, muchas frases parecidas usamos en Argentina, el "Bajate de la mula" de Venezuela sería el "Poniendo estaba la gansa" de Argentina, por decir un ejemplo.

    Bajate de la mula, acá se utiliza "bajate del caballo" que significa cuando alguien está muy agrandado que baje a tierra.

    In the U.S. it would be "get off your high horse"

    but "get off your high horse" does not mean "give me the money"
