Cheerleading keep you late or is your ego so big it's in a seperate time zone?

In the sentence
"Quite frankly, the only possible way you could support the death tax would be if you seek to aspire to some sort of egalitarian dream world. "
One or more of the following words has to have been used incorrectly
1.) Frankly
2.) Only
3.) Possible
4.) You
5.)Seek
6.) Aspire
7.) Egalitarian
8.) Dream

So many ways that sentence could be wrong, and no way for it to be right. Is it 'frankly'? That would be easy. If he meant he wasn't being frank at all, then the rest of the sentence might stand as some sort of nonsense or verbal spasm. If 'only' were used incorrectly as an exclusive term, and he only meant 'one possible way among many', he'd be fine. If by 'dream' he'd meant something possible... maybe that's it. After all, last night I dreamed I had lunch. And today I did.
