Buddhists do not suffer for any reason, and they do not suffer morethan anyone else. Buddha simply commented on the fact that all people suffer - it is our nature and the nature of living. It might be useful to note that "suffer" includes concepts such as want more, are unhappy with, desire. long for, think we need and others. The reason for the suffering is that we all desire something more or different than what we have. This is not limited to Buddhists, all people fall into this same trap.
The cure for this, and one does exist, is to find and institute a remedy for this suffering. Fir Buddhists this has been identified as following the Eightfold Path.
