3. Well, for starters, currently the US has an unemployment rate of 6.30% vs. 7.10% in Venezuela

Secondly, the US population is 10 times larger than Venezuela's. What you need to report then is rather on poverty rates rather than total number of people on poverty. If Venezuela has 3 million of its population living in poor conditions, then that equals to about 10% of its general population. If it was 3 million in the us, it would be around 1% of its general population. The situations are not comparable. Stop trying to find excuses for the failed the government that is the Chavista regime, which has plunged Venezuela to the brink of ruin, especially after Maduro took power. Numbers don't lie, I suggest you research them before posting.
