Because we live in a Union? The idea is that your state will be helped if the table is ever turned. Not everyone in Kentucky hates California and the people who live there. What you're essentially promoting is reducing the role of federal government, which is the same thing current Kentucky senators want. I'm sorry to be so blunt but to be honest your comment sounds hateful and ignorant.

I don't think it's likely that the Kentuckians would help out if the tables were turned

This is just baseless speculation. Also that's a great reason why the federal government exists.

disagree. in times of peril, the states consider themselves part of the nation.
