Guess who profits?

The Senate has again voted against raising the minimum wage (June 22), which has been stuck at $5.15 an hour since 1997. This would provide a full-time employee with an annual salary of $10,712. On the other hand, congressional salaries have gone from $133,600 in 1997 to $165,200 now, an annual average raise of about $3,500. Isn’t there something wrong with this picture?
