Back in 1965 I was getting paid $4.00 and hour,  so when I got back from Vietnam, four years servitude later they held my job for me,  I got a raise to $4.75 an hour.  Then my boss got me a job with a distributer for $5.00 and hour.  So that is a 50 percent rase today, oh goodie.   

Congress salary was  $30,000 dollars in 1965. Today Congress gets a 174,000 salary not counting bribes and graft.  

So going by my 1965 salary of $5.00 and minimum wage today of $7.25 to be fair (we know this is not how it works) Congress should be paid 50 percent more than $30,000 which would be $45,000.
