So it shouldn't just be among the ministry of the church, it really should be among the whole church since the tithe is for the priest class...

You point out one of the most troubling aspects in our attempts to really implement the practices of the NT church. The NT believers were Communistic in their approach to this world's goods.
Of course, a study of human history shows that Capitalism has in fact created more wealth and made more of that wealth available for the Church's use. So by breaking away from the NT financial model we have actually done more good for the spread of the Gospel message.
But the paradox here is uncomfortable.
