It depends how you look at it.  Most of your points are money-focused, so you're not going to get much sympathy considering you live in the richest country in the world.  There are bigger problems than your ghey little gas bills.

I'm not suicidal or anything, just ranting about how life (especially in the US) really sucks. Here's some reasons why:

1. The drug laws suck. Why in the world should I be thrown in jail for smoking a plant? Some people I dont even know have decided that smoking weed in the privacy of my own home is bad for me? I can smoke 3 packs of cigs if I want to though. How come they dont care if that is bad for me? I can go get hammered too. Its clear they can give 2 shits about my health. Let me make my own decisions.

2. Gas prices. It seems that owning a car today is like a big F-you. The stupid government allow us to get ass-raped by the oil companies and claim they have no control over their HUGE record-breaking profits, but they can try to stop monopolies from happening that have almost no day to day impact on our lives (microsoft, Sirius/xm merger). I dont care about paying 14 a month for the "optional to buy" satellite radio or pc operating system. I want to be able to bank some money, not spend 56 dollars for a tank of gas so oil execs can buy 2 mil dollar homes!

3. Housing prices: why the hell do I have to almost live paycheck to paycheck just to be able to live in a "beginner" townhouse in a shitty town. Every bill I have has gone up considerably since I moved in 2 years ago! Me and the wires combined income is 110k a year and we can hardly save shit! We dont spend much on material items, just what we need really, going out only one day a weekend and a vacation once a year if that. We dont have kids and are small ass backyard we aren't even allowed to put a fence or a pool becauseos association rules cost us 5766 dollars a year in property taxes! My fault I guess for living in NJ. I have friends over 30 that can't afford a house andhave decent enough jobs.

4. Eating a mushroom will make you a felon: I dont even have to kill, rape, or bomb anything to gain felon status! I can just eat a vegetable!

5. Gangs are running rampant: violent gangs are controlling are cities with murders, car jackings, rape, extortion, etc but I get pulled over for not having my headlights on while having my windshield wipers on by a cop who is waiting and hiding on a side street! Stupid shit like this make cops look like assholes instead of heros.

6. The war in Iraq: lives and "our money" are being spent like arcade tokens. America can solve tons of our own problems with the amount of money being wasted. Oh yeah, and my friend would still be alive.

7. Welfare assholes: I do not mind my hard earned money going to a family that honestly needs it, but I noticed something; my money is going to complete wastes of lives that sit on their front porch or hang out in front of Chinese food places all fucking day while I work my ass off 10 hours a day. Believe me, my work just extended me to Camden NJ as part of my territory. There are more people standing around town all day doing nothing every day then on a Saturday in a non shithole town. These people are doing nothing towards bettering their lives and I have to pay for it.

Feel free to add your own, as I'll be adding more as I think about it.

The more you despair over it, the worse things will seem. You can make your situation a lot better if you start working towards it. Find ways to enrich your lives. If you're making $110,000 collectively with your wife, you really shouldn't have all that much trouble getting by. I make less than $30,000 a year and I'm doing ok...although I don't have a car but still...

Best of luck!

I second WhiskeyClone's attitude. You complainers are nothing but spoiled brats. People in america right now, even with gas and housing prices, are among the wealthiest people on the planet in all of history. The amount of food, energy and medicine allocated to each one of you blows the average humans standard of living out of the water. You people seriously need perspective...
