US Speaker of the House's base salary is $223,500.

US House Representative Minority Leader's base salary is $193,400.

All other US House Representatives base salary is $174,000.

This is only base salary, and does not include benefits (medical, etc.).

They also get a Members’ Representational Allowance (MRA) "to support Representatives in
their official and representational duties."
MRAs range from $1,849,149 to $2,088,499, with an average of $1,928,107.

I remember that scene in Jersey Girl where Will Smith acting as Will Smith acting as Will Smith speaks at the end about keeping food on the table. With a straight face. Who was, by then, a multabulous millionaire. I hated the movie before that part though.

Keeping food on the table is driving 20 miles for $15/hr in a 32-hour week without bennies, Johnson, you dick.

Congress can dig ditches and refill them to empty them and be better servants.

Imagine going to your doctor and he assesses that you need an MRI, but if he authorizes that MRI then his HMO might earn less profit, and in this instance his salary is linked to the profits of that HMO. So he is incentivized not to authorize tests that might reduce your pain and suffering.
