I had to look him up and Wicki started;

"In the year 2081, amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, radios inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic."

I stopped right there and determined to get the story for myself.

I read Vonnegut Jr 30 or 40 years ago and I never heard of "Harrison Bergeron"

It’s a great read.
You can find the whole story on the web.
It really should be mandatory reading. (Like Animal Farm)
Vonnegut was a prophet.
