Identify this electro song

I downloaded this excellent track that seems to be 1980's electro-rap with vocodered vocals. The tag says it's James Brown's Super Bad Parts 1 and 2 off of the Star Time mix. However, I doubt that's correct because it has absolutely nothing in common with that song. I can't make out all of the lyrics, but the phrases "end taxation" and "Reaganomics" are used frequently. Anyone have any guesses as to what this song is?

Another lyric is "Time keeps on changing / always rearranging / Politicians are aging / What price are we paying?"

Project Future, "Ray-Gun-Omics" (Capitol, 1983). Pop-locking voice-bots critique Reagan's foreign and domestic policies over catchy laser-beam synthesizers. Sweating the possibility that our commander-in-chief will reach for the pencil sharpener and elbow "The Button" -- not an uncommon concern back then -- the chorus wonders, "Politicians are aging/What price are we paying?" (The B-side is a funky/cheesy "Pinball Wizard" update called "Arcade Lover" that anticipates Captain Funkaho's recent "My 2600," so maybe we were just pumping our whole allowance into a "Defender" machine.)
