I don't think we can ,or will ever get back to the level playing field...That went out long ago..Trying to think when it was I'd have to guess it was WAY back when this country was first settled a Dr. took chickens for pay, one farmer helped the other raise a barn or put up a fence. In todays world the level field is you work , to earn ,to pay for ,what you can't do yourself. Or you become a politician
