I've been in a similar position before and that experience taught me that the feeling you have of being used is there because you're being used - that's what jobs do, at the least possible expense to the company you're expected to preform at your fullest potential every time you clock in.
If you think you deserve more money for your effort then you should play all your options until you find an employer that agrees with you.
It wouldn't be smart to give an ultimatum when almost anyone could fill your position - you're there to trade time for money and while you have the flexibility afforded to one who isn't stuck in a career and can practically pick up on the same job elsewhere you should take advantage of it.
Asking for another raise doesn't seem worthy of the effort, cut down your hours so that you have time enough to find another job and if you really want to stay there then see if they're willing to match the offer of another employer who's willing to hire you.
You're in a much better position then you realize.
