According to Glassdoor's Q1 2014 Employment Confidence Survey, the average U.S. employee (of those who receive vacation/paid time off) only takes half (51%) of his or her eligible vacation time/paid time off. In addition, when employees do take paid time off, three in five (61%) admit doing some work. Each quarter, the Glassdoor Employment Confidence Survey monitors four key indicators of employment confidence: salary expectations, job security, the job market and company outlook. This quarter's survey also took a look at employee vacation time, including the percentage of eligible vacation time/paid time off employees actually take, how much they work and why while on vacation, among other realities.

While I agree with your idea in theory, the problem is that there is always something happening that needs to be worked on. If you are truly a conscientious worker, in the U.S. you are almost always going to feel guilty about taking a vacation. Unless of course, you take a deep breath and realize that it is quite likely that the world is not going to end while you are away and if the company is managed properly (yeah, I know...) things will be O.K. without you for a week or so.
