fairer? Who is there to judge if 12 cents per transaction or 25 cents per transaction is fair? certainly not you or some politician... if you feel the fee is not fair, then don't use it, it's not like anyone is forcing anyone to use debit cards...
How fair would it be if someone decided that porn membership's "fair" price is $10/month and you can't charge more than that? or that you can't charge more than $25/hr for your work?
They'll start targeting cell phone companies telling them that 10 cents per SMS is not fair, that 2 cents is more fair? or that paypal can't charge 2.9% fee, that 0.9% is "fair"? wtf are you guys smoking?
"fair" is charging whatever you want and letting the customers decide if that price is fair...
