U won’t believe this.

This envelope enclosed a tax on mineral rights in Texas.

It was a 64 cents postage stamp.

It is a bill 4 NINE cents!

$0.09 if I don’t pay it it will go up to $0.12

Step 1. Charge resident 9 cents for mineral tax.
Step 2. Pay USPS 64 cents to send it.
Step 3. Pay salary to government employee to process tax bills.
Step 4. Profit

I just googled, and cash must be accepted for all taxes. Tape 9 pennies to a piece of paper and mail it back.

Did it have a phone number? You could call it and ask for more details to justify 9 cents.

Send them 10 cents, then they gotta spend 8 dollar in time n postage to send ya a penny back.

Philips scooped up as much mineral rights here in NY in the 1960's.

Mineral rights in texas are probably more worthwhile. Cant even dig a hole to poop here in NY without enviromental BS, litterally.

I don’t think I underpaid them…..the bigger bill I paid months ago.

Maybe this nine cents deal means more royalty coming down the pike!
