You say that as if everyone's CPU power is pre-ordained.

The system is "fair", in that each person has the choice of how much CPU power they wish to devote to bitcoin generation.

There's no enforced cartel, no generating license needed, no official that needs to be bribed, no extra taxes for generators in some states, no need to "know the right people", no pre-booking needed. It's about as fair as anything could possibly be.
