Ted Cruz blames Democrats for Detroit's 60-year decline and says he'd overhaul business taxes to bring manufacturing jobs back to the Motor City and America.

The Texas senator also said at Thursday's Republican presidential debate in Detroit that repealing the federal health care law would restore manufacturing jobs in the country.

Cruz says Detroit is a "great city with a magnificent legacy," but one struggling with rampant crime. He says getting rid of payroll and estate taxes and institution a "business flat tax" would help attract jobs.
