Wrong. Spears collects a big paycheck because she creates a hell of a lot of wealth for others. Doctors are also paid to make money for other people (unless they work for themselves). Spears is a unique commodity, doctors, for the most part, are not. Supply and demand dictates what each are paid, not the goodness or helpfulness, but the almighty dollar.

Yes, I'd say Spears and Bryant produce less than doctors. Life would go on without Spears and Bryant. Lives are saved by doctors.
You'd say Spears produces less money than the average doctor? That's demonstrably false.

If we're paid on what we're worth, Spears deserves nothing. She's worthless.
Says you. The people paying her big bucks would disagree.

That's America.
