What is President Obama's viewpoint in excerpt from "President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address"?

Congressional action is failing to improve the well-being of Americans.

Corporate profits contribute the most to America's economic growth.

The path to more equality is to strengthen and grow America's middle class.

Most recently, technology is to blame for the loss of jobs and wages in America.

Answer:

C. The path to more equality is to strengthen and grow America's middle class.

Excerpt:

"Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled. The cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by – let alone get ahead. And too many still aren’t working at all.

Our job is to reverse these trends. It won’t happen right away, and we won’t agree on everything. But what I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class. Some require Congressional action, and I’m eager to work with all of you. But America does not stand still – and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do."
