I'm searching for the title and perhaps link to a short story i read a
long time ago.  It's about someone who lives in a society that exerts
population control by sending people to a carnival, but where the
people never come back.  The phrase "PC" was used alot in the story i
believe.

I believe the story you're remembering is Frederik Pohl's "Spending a
Day at the Lottery Fair." However, it does not have anything in it
about 'PC'.

You can read the story online:

If this is the correct story, I'll be glad to repost it as your answer.

Ok, that wasn't the one i was looking for. The story i had in mind
only had one protagonist.

Hi there... could it be George Orwell's classic story "1984" ?? that
was definitely a population control / mind control futuristic story. I
started
reading it, but didnt finish it.

I believe it is "Logan's Run"
