The Republican tax bill, a priority of the Trump administration, could exacerbate wealth inequality in the U.S., according to a report by Oxfam. The non-profit organization argues that the legislation would disproportionately benefit the affluent.
What Happened: Oxfam America&#8217;s study suggests that the proposed tax cuts would further stack the odds against ordinary citizens in favor of the wealthy. The report also explores the possibility of implementing a wealth tax on ultra-millionaires and billionaires as a means to address inequality. Oxfam&#8217;s analysis shows that a 3% tax on wealth exceeding $1 billion could raise $50 billion from just the 10 richest Americans—enough to fund a year of food assistance for 22.5 million people, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/21/business/billionaire-tax-cut-trump">reported </a>CNN.
However, the implementation of such a wealth tax could face significant challenges, including valuation of net worth and potential constitutional issues. The debate persists as lawmakers consider whether to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the hallmark tax legislation of the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, a new study from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revealed that the benefits arising from the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act,&#8221; would not be evenly distributed, with the bottom 10% of earners facing a 4% drop in household resources by 2033, while the top 10% would gain 2% due to lower taxes.
Meanwhile, Kent Smetters, a business economics professor from University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School told CNN that the top 10% of households would receive approximately $3.1 trillion in tax cuts over a decade. This possibly includes the likes of billionaires like Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Founder Jeff Bezos and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Here&#8217;s What He Says It Means</a>
Why It Matters: The potential impact of the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; on wealth inequality has been a subject of intense debate. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office">recent report by the Congressional Budget Office</a>&nbsp;estimated a 4% income drop for the lowest decile of Americans by 2033, raising concerns about the bill&#8217;s impact on the wealth gap.
Meanwhile, the bill&#8217;s potential to exacerbate the deficit has also been a point of contention. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office">CBO report</a>&nbsp;suggested that the tax changes, including the extension of the 2017 tax act, could increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion.
These concerns have prompted strong reactions from political figures. Senator&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;criticized the Republicans for advancing the bill through late-night votes, questioning their motives. The bill&#8217;s potential impact on wealth inequality and the deficit continues to be a key point of contention in ongoing political debates.

Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Could Be $3.1 Trillion Jackpot For Affluent Americans Like Elon Musk And Jeff Bezos: Report

The shoemaker of the popular brand, Vans — VF Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>), highlighted that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45544873/v-f-corp-tumbles-after-q4-miss-vans-slump-and-gloomy-q1-forecast">dip in the segment sales</a> was part of the company&#8217;s turnaround plan, and investors would likely see the &#8220;high quality&#8221; earnings in the future.
What Happened: The Vans unit of VF Corp reported a 20% drop in sales as compared to the previous year and an 8% decline sequentially.
VF Corp&#8217;s President and CEO, Bracken Darrell, underscored that if you exclude Vans, the company&#8217;s total revenue growth would be up 4%.
&#8220;We told you last quarter that turnarounds are often nonlinear. To be clear, turnarounds can look nonlinear from a numerical standpoint, and this quarter is an illustration of that,&#8221; he said.
Darrell highlighted that 60% of the decline in the segment this quarter was a direct effect of deliberately reducing revenue to eliminate unprofitable or unproductive business. Additionally, 25% of it was driven by reduced storefronts and reduced channel inventory in China.
&#8220;Another 35% of the total decline was driven by additional set of deliberate actions, which were also in place last quarter that had a lower impact. These include the closure of value doors mainly in the U.S. that were margin eroding,&#8221; he said.
Underscoring the reasons for these declines, Darrell said, &#8220;And the results of these actions and others are that Vans gross margin is up significantly year-over-year.&#8221;
However, concerning the revenue, he said, &#8220;You don&#8217;t see the results just yet numerically, but you will. And when you do, they&#8217;ll be high quality.&nbsp;&#8220;

On Wednesday, a federal judge ruled that Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and AI startup Character.AI must face a wrongful death lawsuit filed by a Florida mother who claims the chatbot encouraged her teenage son to take his own life.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Anne Conway rejected the companies' motion to dismiss the lawsuit, stating they failed to prove that the chatbot's responses are protected under the First Amendment, reported Reuters.
The lawsuit, filed by Megan Garcia, alleges that her 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer, became obsessed with Character.AI's chatbot, which engaged in harmful roleplay.
The complaint claims the chatbot portrayed itself as "a real person, a licensed psychotherapist and an adult lover," ultimately leading to the boy's suicide in February 2024.

According to the filing, Setzer died moments after telling the chatbot—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31729836/character-ai-lets-people-talk-with-a-celebrity-receives-350-million-in-andreessen-horowitz-funding-r">impersonating the character</a> Daenerys Targaryen from &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221;—that he would "come home right now."
Character.AI argued its chatbot&#8217;s outputs were constitutionally protected speech. However, Judge Conway wrote that the company "fail[ed] to articulate why words strung together by an LLM (large language model) are speech."
The startup said it plans to continue defending the case and maintains it uses safeguards to prevent harmful conversations, the report noted.

&nbsp;A Google spokesperson said that the tech giant is "entirely separate" from Character.AI and did not build or manage the platform. Last year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41141844/after-googles-2-7b-acquisition-of-founders-and-staff-this-ai-startup-abandons-large-language-model-p">Character.AI signed an agreement</a> with Google granting the search giant a non-exclusive license to its large language model technology. As part of the deal, Google provided additional funding to Character.AI, although the startup did not disclose the amount.
Still, Garcia's legal team argues that Google played a role by licensing the startup's technology and rehiring its founders. Attorney Meetali Jain called the ruling "historic" and a step forward in "legal accountability across the AI and tech ecosystem."

Google And Character.AI Sued After Teen Dies Following Interaction With 'Game Of Thrones'-Themed Chatbot — Judge Says Free Speech Defense Not Acceptable

UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) has lost nearly $140 billion from its market capitalization following a series of events such as downbeat Q1 results, CEO Andrew Witty stepping down and a potential criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
What Happened: &nbsp;The health insurance giant&#8217;s shares plummeted by 22% after Witty&#8217;s alarming first-quarter results announcement in April.&nbsp;Witty resigned on May 13, citing personal reasons. The stock took another hit following reports of a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into potential criminal Medicare fraud by UnitedHealth, <a href="https://fortune.com/article/unitedhealth-group-andrew-witty-stephen-helmsley-stock/">reported </a>Fortune.
According to data from companies marketcap.com, UnitedHealth lost $140.53 billion in market capitalization since April 19. 
&nbsp;"This is a stock that every growth-oriented portfolio manager in the world owned for a decade and made money on it like clockwork," stated Whit Mayo from Leerink Partners, a health care investment bank. "It's stunning. It's unthinkable,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, Jared Holz, a health care analyst at Mizuho Group stated, &nbsp;"They've been completely incapable of forecasting their own business." Holz added that the repeated missteps—not just this week but since 2023—indicate that other key members of the management team may also need to be replaced.
Furthermore, some analysts speculate that relaxed prior authorization controls may be driving up costs. As Bernstein analyst Lance Wilkes told The Wall Street Journal, "UNH may be relaxing prior authorization and other claims controls in response to policy pressures."

Why It Matters: Between 2013 and 2023, UnitedHealth's net income quadrupled from $5.6 billion to $22 billion, and its stock delivered a 715% return—far outpacing the S&amp;P 500's 158% gain. However, now things have deteriorated. 
Witty&#8217;s explanation for the poor Q1 results failed to appease analysts, with the company&#8217;s financial statements revealing issues across multiple divisions, particularly in its Medicare Advantage health care insurance business. This was due to an unexpected increase in the rate of health care usage by beneficiaries
Despite the disappointing results, some analysts remained bullish on UnitedHealth for the long term because it remains a dominant player in the industry, employing nearly 400,000 people and serving millions. 
However, the recent events, including the DOJ probe and the CEO&#8217;s resignation, have led to a loss of confidence in the company, with some key asset managers even&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45533883/exclusive-unitedhealth-gets-dumped-why-this-asset-manager-says-insurer-is-no-longer-a-safe-bet">dumping the stock</a>. Tom Hulick, CEO of Strategy Asset Managers shared an exclusive insight with Benzinga wherein he mentioned &#8220;a deterioration in fundamentals&#8221;&nbsp;as the primary reason for liquidating his position in the stock. 
Analyst Whit Mayo opined that the only way new CEO Stephen J. Hemsley can restore investor, customer, and employee confidence in UHG is by letting results speak for themselves.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that UnitedHealth has a weak price trend over the short, medium and long term. Its quality ranking is moderate at the 58th percentile, whereas its momentum ranking is poor at the 12th percentile; the details of other metrics are available <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH">here</a>.
On Monday, the stock fell 5.78% to close at $302.98. On a year to date basis, it plunged nearly 40%, according to data from<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro</a>.

As UnitedHealth Wipes Out 'Unthinkable' $140 Billion In Market Value Since April, Analysts Weigh In On The Road Ahead

Germany Services Purchasing Managers Index Preliminary For May 47.2 Vs. 49.6 Est.; 49.0 Prior

As housing affordability reaches a critical point, homebuilding company Toll Brothers Inc.  (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>) CEO Douglas Yearley gave insights about the customer base during the <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45536617/why-toll-brothers-shares-are-trading-higher-by-over-6-here-are-20-stocks-moving-premarket">second-quarter earnings</a> call on Wednesday. What Happened: Yearly said, &#8220;Over 70% of our business serves the move-up and empty-nester segments.&#8221; He revealed that &#8220;these buyers are wealthier, have greater financial flexibility, and most have equity in their existing homes,&#8221; highlighting the affluence of Toll&#8217;s average buyer.
According to the company, the average price of homes in its backlog has climbed to $1.13 million, a record high, and on top of the base pricing, buyers spent an additional $200,000 on upgrades.

&#8220;The average spend on design studio selections, structural options, and lot premiums was approximately $200,000 per home in Q2,&#8221; Yearley said, &#8220;these upgrades benefit our margins as they tend to be highly accretive.&#8221;
When asked about mortgage rates and their impact on the business, Yearley said, &#8220;a little tick in mortgage rate&#8221; doesn&#8217;t affect the company&#8217;s clientele all that much. This is because 24% of its buyers pay in cash, and even those who rely on financing have an average loan-to-value ratio of just 70%.
Yearley also added that &#8220;a good part of the 30% of first-time buyers we sell to are getting some help from mom and dad with generational wealth transfer,&#8221; underscoring the financial strength of its core customer base.
Despite the recent <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43891619/home-sales-tick-down-as-prices-hit-all-time-high-affordability-a-major-challenge-economist-says">softness in housing demand</a>, Toll reaffirmed full-year guidance and raised its stock buyback target to $600 million.
Why It Matters: This comes at a time when the U.S. is experiencing a housing affordability crisis, with buyers having to spend 42.4% of their monthly income to make payments on their homes, according to John Burns Research &amp; Consulting, underscoring the sharp divide between the entry-level and luxury housing segments.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) advocate Anthony Pompliano believes it is clear to him that America will not balance its budget and that a weaker dollar will keep pushing up the prices of financial assets.
What Happened: Pompliano posted on X, stating that the odds of a U.S. balanced budget are now "near zero" and warns that "dollar debasement will drive asset prices until they bury me six feet under."

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I had faith we were going to see a balanced budget but it is now clear there is a near zero percent chance of that happening under any administration. Dollar debasement will drive asset prices until they bury me six feet under.

Pompliano's stark warning landed the same day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45550324/us-bond-market-flashing-red-30-year-yield-tops-5-prices-tank-to-october-2023-lows">investors snubbed</a> a $16 billion sale of 20-year Treasury bonds. The auction's weak demand drove the 30-year yield above 5%, a level not seen since late 2023, and sent long-dated bond prices to 19-month lows.
The sell-off rippled across markets: major stock indexes fell and the U.S. dollar slipped, signaling fresh nerves over how Washington will finance its growing debt pile.

Why It Matters: Debt worries were already on edge after Moody's last week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45492889/americas-credit-strength-just-got-cut-again-should-you-panic">stripped</a> the U.S. of its final triple-A credit rating, citing soaring deficits and rising interest costs. The downgrade puts Moody's in line with earlier cuts from Fitch and S&amp;P.
Pompliano isn&#8217;t the only one sounding the &#8216;dollar debasement&#8217; alarm. During the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, Warren Buffett lamented the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45218040/warren-buffett-expresses-disappointment-over-dollar-depreciation-dont-want-to-own-assets-in-a-currency-that-is-really-going-to-hell">depreciating U.S. dollar</a> and warned that investors would avoid holding assets in a currency losing value.
On Capitol Hill, House Republicans are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45550447/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-advances-heres-who-wins-and-loses">rallying around</a> President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," a tax-and-spending package that analysts say would widen the deficit by as much as $4.9 trillion over the next decade.
Pompliano, whose venture fund holds sizable Bitcoin stakes, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44273077/bitcoin-is-digital-sound-money-in-the-safest-most-prosperous-time-in-history-anthony-pompliano-says">long argued</a> that scarce digital assets outperform in eras of fiscal excess. With yields surging and credit quality slipping, his latest salvo taps into a growing chorus, from Wall Street strategists to veteran <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/05/45557372/jim-cramer-says-bonds-will-overshoot-and-then-settle-predicts-turbocharged-economy-from-budget-agreement">hedge-fund managers</a>, warning that Washington's spending path could crowd out investment and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45484549/inflation-still-tops-americans-financial-concerns-but-worries-are-shifting">keep inflation</a> sticky.
Notably, Pompliano has recently launched a SPAC that targets the financial services sector. He took Pro Cap Acquisition (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCAPU#NASDAQ">PCAPU</a>) public this week. The blank check company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45553587/bitcoin-bull-anthony-pompliano-launches-spac-targeting-financial-services-my-reputations-on-this">has raised $220 million</a>.
