AOC still thinks $174,000 isn't enough money for members of Congress: 'I know it's kind of a contrarian position'

Members of Congress make $174,000 a year — but they haven't gotten a raise since 2009.
That's despite 15 years of inflation since then.
AOC says that needs to change "if we want working class people" in Congress.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has long been vocal about the need for members of Congress to get a pay bump.
