What is a Fair Rake?

Why should a fair rake necessarily be a beatable rake? I sometimes play in a room which spreads 2/4 LHE. For people playing at those stakes, I don't really care if they are playing at an unbeatable rake, I just want the rake to be low enough to allow the players to come out a winner some of the time so they move up to 3/6 where they might go on a rush to move up again or dump their winnings to someone who will move up.

That's the intersting thing about inflation. It wouldn't matter if the stakes were also raised.
