How healthy is too healthy?

How smart is too smart?

How talented is too talented?

How good looking is too good looking?

If we force the wealthy to give up much of their wealth, then we must also:

Force healthy people to donate organs

Force smart people to tutor and/or marry the stupid

Injure the talented for the sake of talent equality

Give the good looking a choice, facial scars or pity sex with uggos.

Harsh, bizarre, outrageous?

Sure.

But how are any of those really different than seeking to significantly extract funds from those who achieve or are even born with the benefit of great wealth as opposed to any of those other valued attributes.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr wrote this story in 1961, it is named "Harrison Bergeron". A short read found at this link! FYI: 2081 is 60+ years away, Vonnegut wrote this when it was 120 years away!

You cannot force anyone to donate organs.

Yes, you can: the Red Chinese are doing it right now.

How healthy is too healthy?

If you are healthy enough that you don’t need goverment health care, you are too healthy

How smart is too smart?

If you are smart enough to earn a living and don’t need government handouts, you are too smart.

How talented is too talented?

See “too smart” above.

How good looking is too good looking?

If you are good looking enough to get laid without a government assigned sex therapist, you are too good looking.
