In 'harrison bergeron', certain people are 'handicapped; they have to carry around heavy weights and have loud noises blasted into their ears. why do you think the government does this?

The reason as to why to government does this is because they want to provide equality amongst the people in which the handicapped people should also be treated equal as even though they are different from other people that are normal-they are still considered to be humans and that’s why they should be treated equal.
