I don't think you can legally repeal a constitutional amendment by a vote of Congress. The FairTax calls for the repeal of the 16th Amendment. Which is proposed and voted on in Congress and then placed on the ballot for the people to vote on it.

Without the repeal of the 16th Amendment we would have both the FairTax (a consumption based tax) and the current Federal Income Tax (as it says based on income). That might please politicians, to have both, but not the average 'Joe Six-Pack' and I think there is more of him than politicians.
