Taking days off hits the employer, not the government.
No, better, if you want to apply pressure, is to file a new W4 and increase the number of "expected" deductions. (Item 4(b)) Yes, you will pay a financial penalty if you "guess" wrong and don't let them withhold at least 90%, but the penalty is small compared to the benefit. If everyone did this, just cut their withholdings in half, the pressure would increase.
Remember: only actual fraud (e.g. filing a false return, making a mistake in excess of 25% of your income, etc) is a crime. Admitting to the amount, but not paying or simply delaying payment is only a financial penalty. It's time we all stopped being afraid of these nazis. If they have their way, we won't have anything left for them to seize anyway.
