"Congress: Rank-and-File Members' Salary
The current salary for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $158,100 per year." Link

"Since 1997, Congress has raised its own pay five times for a total $21,000 increase. That's nearly twice what a minimum-wage employee makes working 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. The minimum wage, in real terms, is worth 24.5 percent less than 24 years ago. And it's $4,300 below the official poverty line for a family of three." Christian Science Monitor Sept. 2003

I've always thought it was funny that anyone could vote to give themselves a raise. Could you imagine what would happen if a bunch of cashiers walked into Wal-Mart and told the powers that be that they had to give them raises because they'd voted on it?
