"He flung away his rubber-ball nose, revealed a man that would have awed Thor, the god of thunder"
The allegory and symbolism present through Harrison Bergeron is that equality and non-competition amongst American's is valued more than Freedom. Freedom is removed and the government enforces equality and handicaps on the people in order to keep everyone equal.
Vonnegut is satirizing the idea of social equality. In his futuristic world, anyone who is smarter or prettier or in some other way superior to someone else is subject to pretty severe handicapping to bring him to the lowest level, so nobody in society feels inferior. The handicapping is possible because the value of freedom has become nonexistent.
Some believe Vonnegut was influenced by a speech by a government official who called television 'the vast wasteland." In other words, mediocre. So he would also be satirizing metiocracy and lamenting the lack of competition in his land of the future. He is probably also satirizing socialistic government, which tries to bring people to a more equitable financial level but which many criticize as stifling excellence and individual effort.
