Answer:
The punishment for removing weight from the 'handicap bag' was so harsh because if anyone would remove weight then others, too, would want to remove weights from their handicap bag, which will make their society step back to the Dark Ages of competition.
Explanation:
Harrison Bergeron is a short story written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. The story is about a dystopian society, where people are living in 2081 and all people are equal in society.
There is an agency named the United States Handicapper General, which puts a 'handicap bag' around the neck of people who are more smarter and wiser than others. It is done so that people may not feel inferior to anyone.
The bag weighs around forty-seven pounds and is tied around the neck of <em>handicap </em>people. The punishment to remove weight from <em>'handicap bag' </em>is severe because if anyone would remove the weight from their bags then others would likely do the same, which will bring chaos in the society. This chaos most likely will result in going back to the <em>Dark Ages </em>where people were not equal and competitive.
<u>Textual evidence</u>
<em>'“If I tried to get away with it,” said George, “then other people’d get away with it—
and pretty soon we’d be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else...'</em>

Definition: these are slogans that are 1 or 2 minutes long (if a TV or radio ad) or large single page posters that try to influence people about social issues. They are free (without cost). I think they are almost always government initiated.
Examples:
No Kid Hungry narrated by Jeff Bridges.
Stop Cyber Bullying
Save Lives: Stop Red Light running.
Don't Drink and Drive
They are effective because:
1. They are free. They can be entered into the media many times. Not only that but they reach across the country because many radio / TV stations are networked.
2. They can be like chain letters. They can cause people to talk about the issues.
3. Organizations are built around these slogans. Do you have MADD in the United States? That stands for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Their slogan is Don't Drink and Drive. It's very well known up here. Mothers who are against Drunk Driving are very adamant and very outspoken. They are also single minded.
4. They are effective because they are meant to make you feel guilty if you don't agree with the slogan. Imagine standing up to a mother who has lost a child and saying "It's not so bad. There are worse things. No damage no harm done."
