No capital loss can only be used to reduce any capital gain, and even in then there are rules. You can not use capital gain to offset against ordinary income.

NB: Personal use capital loss can not be offset against any capital gain, losses on collectibles can only be offset against other collectibles capital gain and all "other" capital loss e.g. dividends, shares, real estate can be offset against "other" capital gain.

You purchased land 20 years ago for 20000 and this year sold it for 17000 so do you have to pay taxes on the 17000 this year?

No. This should be treated as a capital gain/loss. If you bought the land for $20,000 and sold it for $17,000 you do not have any income or a gain. On the contrary, you have a $3,000 capital loss which can be used to offset some of your income and decrease your taxes.
