A quick read, but a quicker and more enjoyable one that makes the same point is Vonnegut's very short story, Harrison Bergeron. This one is simplistic and a really bad argument for what happens if people consider the good of the community instead of just their own needs. I read it in an evening and consider it a wasted evening. Loved the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
