Help Me Win at my Sociology Class

Today, we were talking about income disparity. As everyone knows, income disparity is some sort of stupid statistical farce whereby sociologists try to prove how unfair the world is.
What I want help with here is "proving" (by way of statistics) that the rise in "income disparity" over the last twenty years is almost entirely due to the coincident expansion of the credit market. Also, if anyone knows how to make awesome power-points, I'd love to make this graph:
Borrowers (Poor People)-------------------income disparity-------------------------------Rich People
Credit (not income)--------------------------used to buy things--------------------------->Revenue (income)
Credit (not income)--------------------------backs securities------------------------------>Dividends (income)
Credit (not income)--------------------------buys houses----------------------------------->Profits (income)
Etc.

I will help you with this project. At work right now, so I can't do anything yet, but I will call you later.
