Whoever has the gold, makes the rules! Remember the Golden Rule! Whoever has the gold, makes the rules!! This sharp cartoon is from The Wizard of Id – a classic daily newspaper comic strip created by Brant Parker and Johnny Hart in 1964 to satirize modern American culture and politics.

  -> Possibly, but "say 'no' to sth., a commonly used fixed phrase, basically covers all bases, .i.e. "refusals, prohibitions etc." Thank you, Andrzej.
