If God is going to judge America, then He first need to judge his cold, dead, carnal, church first.

Here's a passage to ponder: Mat 7:1-5 Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Or perhaps: Jhn 8:7b "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone."
I agree. The evil of society is a consequence of Christians not being Christlike. But the issue isn't tithing; it's loving. The tithe is a command of the Law of Moses. To love is a command of Jesus.
