What are ways you’ve gotten your boss to give you a raise?

I’ve tried talking to him, presenting him with facts, labor market information and even being transparent about my financial needs to survive. Every time, I get some kind of patronizing “don’t worry, I’ll take care of it” response. This has been going on for two months. I’d like to try something a little more serious — nothing illegal — just something that says, “do I have your attention now?!” Yes, I’m looking for other jobs; respectfully, please don’t come here with “if you don’t like it, leave” energy.
