The House just voted themselves a $3300 a year pay raise, bringing the annual salary of Congressmen to just over 168k. This will be the seventh "automatic" pay raise in a row. In contrast, the minimum wage hasn't been bumped for ten whole years. Thoughts?

If people making minimum wage could vote for their own pay raises they would get one, too.

By all that is right they should have taken a cut in pay due to poor job performance. In fact a lot of them belong in jail for treason instead of sitting up there getting pay raises. Their salary is so completely out of relation with what the regular peons make it isn't funny.
