Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio came to Michigan Thursday to talk about reforming the nation’s tax code.
The Florida senator told the Detroit Economic club it’s time to stop clinging to an outdated tax code and embrace the new American economy.
Rubio says, if elected, his plan would cut the corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 35 percent and allow businesses to expense all money spent on the company.
He also wants to increase the child tax credit to $2,500 from $1,000 and dump a tax penalty for couples that file jointly.
Rubio will make campaign stops in Ohio Friday and Saturday.

The top Democrat in Michigan says GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio chose an odd spot – Detroit – to talk about his plan for the economy.
Brandon Dillon says that’s because Rubio said, in April, the auto industry bailout was the wrong thing to do.
Dillon says without the auto rescue Michigan would still be in an economic depression.
Dillon calls Rubio’s ideas old and tired.
Rubio spoke before the Detroit Economic Club Thursday.
