POLITICAL CORRECTNESS-I HATE IT!!!! PART II

I WILL GIVE YOU TWO EXAMPLES OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WHICH I'VE ENCOUNTERED I BELIEVE THAT I TOLD YOU THAT I WORKED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ACTUALLY I AM EMPLOYED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, AN AGENCY THAT 'EVERYBODY' KNOWS AND LOVES' I HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MEN AN WOMEN OF THE IRS FOR APPROXIMATELY 24 YEARS. I HAVE WORKED A SUPPORT ROLE IN THE COMPLIANCE SECTION. ONE OF THE TYPES OF PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH ARE WHAT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TRADITIONALLY AS 'TAX PROTESTERS'. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILLFULLY AVOID AND EVADE FILING TAX RETURNS. THEY AVOID HAVING MONEY WITHHELD FROM THEIR PAYCHECKS BY TURNING IN BOGUS W-4'S, EITHER BY CLAIMING 150 EXEMPTIONS (OR SOME REDICULOUS FIGURE), OR THEY MAKE THE STATEMENT ON THE W-4 THAT THEY ARE TAX EXEMPT; INSTRUCTING THE EMPLOYER NOT TO TAX MONEY OUT AND SENDING IT IN TO THE GOVERMNENT. THIS IS BLATANTLY ILLEGAL. AND OF COURSE THESE PEOPLE 'JUSTIFY' AND COUCH THEIR ILLEGALITY WITH LEGAL TERMS. THEY USE THE CONSTITUTION TO CLAIM THAT MAYBE THEY AREN'T CITIZENS; AND ARE NOT LIABLE FOR TAXES. MAYBE THEY TRY AND US THE 'BILL OF RIGHTS' TO CLAIM THAT TAXES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. NEARLY TEN YEARS AGO, THE RULING CAME DOWN THAT WE WERE NO LONGER TO REFER TO THESE PEOPLE AS 'TAX PROTESTERS' IT JUST MIGHT MAKE THEM FEEL BAD. THE SUGGESTION WAS THAT WE MIGHT CALL THEM 'CONSTITUTIONALLY CHALLENGED.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I WENT TO A TRAINING CLASS ON THE PROVISIONS IN THE LAW WITH REGARDS TO ACCESSIBILTY FOR HANDICAPPED PEOPLE. THE PERSON THAT WAS TEACHING THE CLASS SAID QUITE PLAINLY, WE DON'T WANT TO CALL THEM HANDICAPPED PEOPLE ANY MORE. IT MIGHT MAKE THEM FEEL BAD. WE MIGHT REPLACE IT WITH PHYSICALLY CHALLANGED. I'M SORRY BUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ABOUT THE TERM HANDICAPPED. IN MY OPINION THE TERM 'PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED' MIGHT BE MORE DORAGATORY THAN 'HANDICAPPED.

THERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES THAT I COULD GIVE ABOUT POLITICALLY CORRECT WAYS OF ACTING AND OR SPEAKING, BUT I'M GOING TO END IT WITH WHAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT.
