Putin to Russian billionaires: Pay up

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/03/20/putin-russian-billionaires-crimea-sanctions/6645141/

Russian billionaires have a new order from Russian President Vladimir Putin: Pay your taxes.

With a wave of Western sanctions over the annexation of Crimea about to hit, Putin has called on billionaires to pay taxes at home.

The Russian president met Thursday in Moscow with some of Russia's richest men. Putin said business "ought to register on Russian territory and pay taxes in our motherland."
